Troopers say 37-year-old Erik Korbely was driving westbound in an SUV when he lost control, struck a guardrail on the eastbound side and entered Lake Chelan, with the vehicle coming to a rest on its top.
Korbely was flown to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, where the State Patrol reports him to have died today.
He was a resident of Colville.
It's not known if Korbely was wearing a seatbelt at the time of the crash. The SUV remained in the lake afterward and was retrieved at a later date.
Troopers now confirm that drugs or alcohol were involved in the crash that took place at about 7:30pm May 13.
