Washington State Patrol says it happened at approximately 3:50 a.m. today on State Route 243, 10 miles west of Mattawa when the driver of an SUV, 52-year-old Segrio Corrales, drifted off the roadway onto the shoulder, overcorrected and rolled the vehicle, ejecting both Corrales and his passenger, 53-year-old Sonia Corrales.
