UPDATE From KAPP TV, Yakima, WA
Man Killed in Rollover Wreck Near Tampico
One man is dead and a girl is recovering from injuries after a rollover wreck east of Tampico Sunday. Washington State Troopers say 53 year old Jimmy Pomeroy rolled his jeep heading westbound on the 19000 block of Ahtanum Road just after 11 A.M. Sunday. He died at the scene. Medics rushed his 9 year old daughter, Jamie, to the hospital. Doctors treated her injuries, then released her.
"We're investigating the possibility that the driver may have reached down for something, momentarily lost his attention to the highway and then drifted off to the righthand shoulder of the road," said WSP Sgt. Ethan Reavis.
Troopers say the driver had a seatbelt on. It doesn't appear alcohol was a factor in the crash.
