Kennewick woman killed in single-car rollover

A 24-year-old Kennewick woman was killed Saturday morning when the Jeep Cherokee she was driving rolled down an embankment off Highway 221 near Prosser.

She was driving north on the highway about 9:50 a.m. when the Jeep crossed into the southbound lane, according to the Washington State Patrol. Montano lost control and the vehicle rolled.
