SOAP LAKE, Wash. — Two Lower Yakima Valley residents were injured near Soap Lake on Monday when their tractor-trailer rolled off State Route 17.
Juan J. Sanchez, 33, of Sunnyside was driving a 2001 Freightliner about 8 miles north of Soap Lake when he failed to negotiate a left turn, the rig left the roadway to the right, rolled and came to rest on its passenger side, according to the State Patrol.
Sanchez and passenger Marcos Guzman-Razo, 23, of Mabton were taken by ambulance to Columbia Basin Hospital. The truck was totaled.
Both men were treated and released.
The State Patrol said the accident was the result of inattention and Sanchez faces speeding charges.
