Two WSU students dead, four injured in weekend collisions
Both incidents remain under investigation

Two Washington State University Students are dead and four were injured over the weekend in two collisions as they made their way back to WSU for the spring, 2017 semester.

Rachel Pomeroy, 20, died about 4:30 p.m. Sunday when traveling eastbound on state Highway 26, 16 miles west of Washtucna, Wash., when her 2003 Acura collided head on with a 2016 Ford Explorer driven by 60-year-old Donald Graham of Bothell, Wash.

Graham was not injured.

Nineteen-year-old Dashell Mortell of Bainbridge Island died Saturday about 2 p.m. when the vehicle he was riding in with four other students rear-ended a car that had stopped for a collision on Interstate 90 near Cle Elum.

The vehicle, an SUV driven by 21-year-old WSU student Andrew Hammond of Bremerton, rolled onto its side and was struck in the roof by an oncoming pickup pulling a trailer.

John Crawford, 18, of Vancouver was transported to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle and remained in critical condition Monday morning, while Hammond, 21-year-old Chanlin Morgan of Bremerton and 21-year-old Justin Crawford of Vancouver were transported to Kittitas Valley Hospital in Ellensburg.

Each occupant of the vehicle was a WSU student.

Both collisions remain under investigation by the Washington State Patrol.
