The Washington State Patrol reports that Trooper Jeremiah M. Matthews investigated the crash that took place on Oct. 22, 2019, at 9:31 pm. According to police, Kai Michael Marcellay, 37, of Brewster, Washington is the suspect with vehicular homicide charges pending his release from a hospital.

Marcellay was northbound in a black 2009 GMC Yukon on State Route 97 while the motorist he struck and killed was traveling southbound. Police say that Marcellay made an illegal pass of another vehicle and struck the woman’s 2008 Honda. The impact left the Yukon in the middle of the road and the Honda rolled over and came to rest on its roof on the southbound shoulder.

Brian Wade Dougherty, 33, of Okanogan, Wash., was a passenger in Marcellay’s truck and was taken to Three Rivers Hospital.

Police are withholding the name of the victim pending notification of next of kin.
