Two Dead In SR 20 Crash In Okanogan County

Two men are dead after a single vehicle crash Thursday night on State Route 20 in Okanogan County.

Troopers say a 2003 Ford F-150 pickup truck driven by 77-year-old Terry Thompson of Danville was traveling westbound on SR 20 east of Tonasket when he attempted to pass in a no passing zone in a corner.

They say Thompson lost control and the pickup left the roadway to the left, rolled down an embankment and came to a rest on its top in a creek.

Thompson and 57-year-old Raymond Thompson of Danville were pronounced dead at the scene.

The crash took place at about 6:45pm Thursday.

Troopers say Raymond Thompson was not wearing a seatbelt.

The cause of the crash is still under investigation. It’s not known if alcohol or drugs were involved in the crash.
