I-90 fatality determined suicide
Jun. 9—MOSES LAKE — The Washington State Patrol is still investigating a fatality that occurred Sunday afternoon at Exit 176 on Interstate 90 in Moses Lake. WSP has since determined that the death was a suicide, said Trooper Ryan Michael, a public information officer for the WSP's sixth district, which includes Moses Lake.
"He did jump off the overpass and landed on I-90 before he was struck," said Michael.
According to a press release issued by WSP, a Subaru Forrester was driving along the interstate when it struck the unidentified individual at milepost 176. Neither the driver nor the passenger, both from Everett, was injured in the accident, though there was damage reported to the vehicle.
The incident had traffic backed up and rerouted around the scene for some time as investigators examined the scene and helped those in the Subaru have their car removed and leave the scene themselves.
Authorities are investigating the identity of the deceased, and more information will be shared when it comes to light.

BATON ROUGE, La. — Marine Corps veteran Adrian Clouatre doesn't know how to tell his children where their mother went after U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers detained her last month. When his nearly 2-year-old son Noah asks for his mother before bed, Clouatre just tells him, 'Mama will be back soon.' When his 3-month-old, breastfeeding daughter Lyn is hungry, he gives her a bottle of baby formula instead. He's worried how his newborn will bond with her mother absent skin-to-skin contact.
