Grant County, Wash. — Law enforcement arrested a man wanted in connection with a fatal wrong-way collision that killed two people on I-90 on August 8th.
Brayan Reyes-Alvarez was taken into custody September 8th in Seattle. He faces two counts of vehicular homicide stemming from the August 8th crash.
The collision occurred approximately seven miles west of George, Washington, when Reyes-Alvarez drove eastbound in the westbound lanes of I-90 and struck an oncoming vehicle head-on. Two 23-year-old women who were passengers in Reyes-Alvarez’s vehicle sustained fatal injuries and were pronounced deceased at the scene.
Reyes-Alvarez and two occupants of the other vehicle were also injured in the crash. Washington State Patrol investigators determined that impairment was a contributing factor to the collision.
When law enforcement made contact with Reyes-Alvarez on September 8th, he attempted to evade arrest by jumping from a second-story window and fleeing on foot. Officers pursued him briefly before taking him into custody.
The case remains under investigation by the Washington State Patrol.
