The impact pushed Santos' vehicle into the opposite lanes of the highway, where it was struck by an oncoming semi-truck driven by 31-year-old Jose Salcedo of Tieton.

Santos suffered traumatic injuries in the collision and was pronounced deceased at the scene, while Regalado and Salcedo both emerged from the crash without any injuries.

Troopers say Regalado is now facing charges for causing the wreck.
