How the SR 17 Crash Near Moses Lake Unfolded
The collision happened at about 7:26 p.m. near McConihe Road NE. The drivers were Samuel A. Gonzalez, 22, of Quincy, and Karmen M. Andrews, 50, of Moses Lake. Troopers said Gonzalez was at the wheel of a 2020 Nissan Altima heading south when it hit a 2021 Chevrolet Silverado heading north, which Andrews was driving. Both vehicles stopped across lanes of the highway, and both were declared totaled.
Gonzalez and Andrews were taken to Samaritan Hospital in Moses Lake for treatment. Two 13-year-old passengers who had been riding with Gonzalez were reported hurt but were not taken to a hospital. Troopers have not said how serious the injuries are.
What the Washington State Patrol Reported Next
Gonzalez faces allegations of DUI and third-degree driving with a suspended license, along with two counts of reckless endangerment. No deaths were reported. Moses Lake Towing removed the Altima, and Agrifix Towing removed the Silverado.
An arrest is not a conviction. The case moves through the courts, and the full process can take many months.
