Trinidad was pronounced dead at the scene. His remains are in the care of Craig Morrison, whose office will conduct an autopsy. Family members have been notified.

The passenger, identified as 22-year-old Melany Campos of Othello, was transported by air ambulance to Kadlec Regional Medical Center in Richland. Her condition was not released.
