Washington State Patrol Troopers say 22-year-old Homero Lemus is behind bars after being arrested on Monday.

Thursday morning a Washington State Trooper was injured when his vehicle was struck while on the side on the road.

The truck blocked a major intersection in Kennewick for about an hour

While temperatures climbed into the 40's on Wednesday, the overnight low dipped below 30 degrees, causing some wet areas to freeze.

The highway was closed at Ellensburg because a jack-knifed 18-wheeler was blocking the entire roadway.

The deceased passenger was 21-year-old Bellevue man Aravind Ravikumar.

Washington State Trooper Jeremy Weber said that one of the three people inside the pickup truck was pronounced dead at the scene.

Washington State Patrol is currently investigating the collision.

The crash forced State Patrol to block Hwy 397 for much of the Monday Morning commute.

The State Patrol says it received a report of a car driving erratically along SR 16 in Kitsap County, and the driver reportedly told troopers their windshield wipers weren’t working
