QUINCY – State Route 28 is closed at Winchester due to a fatal collision as of 2:30 p.m. Thursday. The Washington State Patrol is asking travelers to seek alternate routes.
“The collision just happened within the last twenty minutes,” WSP Public Information Officer Jeremy Weber said. “I would assume the road would be closed for the next three to four hours. I cannot say for sure because when we have a fatal collision it needs to be investigated very thoroughly. It takes several hours to measure everything, fly drones, and complete the investigation."
Weber said a detour will be set up soon by the Washington State Department of Transportation.
