Pasco man could face charges after collision

By the Herald staff

A 49-year-old Pasco man is facing drunken driving charges after colliding with a semi-truck Wednesday night near Burbank.

Angel O. Quezada was driving a 1999 Oldsmobile Intrepid west on Highway 12 when he lost control and slid broadside in front of a truck that also was driving west.

The accident happened at 5:35 p.m. near Highway 124 about a mile east of Pasco, said the Washington State Patrol.

Truck driver George P. Hogue, 48, of White Swan, was not hurt.

Quezada was taken to Lourdes Medical Center in Pasco and no longer was there Thursday afternoon.

And his passenger Mariano Lopez Mendez, 50, of Pasco, was not hurt. All were wearing seat belts.

Troopers said alcohol and excessive speed were to blame in the crash.
