OTHELLO, WA – A Royal City man was killed in a single-vehicle rollover crash Saturday night in rural Adams County, according to the Adams County Sheriff’s Office.

Deputies responded to the 1700 block of West Cunningham Road at approximately 9:12 p.m. on July 12, where they found a passenger truck that had rolled off the roadway and come to rest in a wheat field.

The driver, identified as 38-year-old Jesus Carlos Villa of Royal City, was the only occupant in the vehicle. According to the sheriff’s office, the westbound truck veered off the road in a northwesterly direction. Villa appeared to have attempted to steer back onto the roadway but overcorrected, causing the vehicle to rotate, cross the road, strike a utility pole, and roll before coming to a stop.

Villa was ejected from the vehicle during the crash and was pronounced dead at the scene.

The investigation remains ongoing.
