A 68-year-old driver killed in Hanford highway ****** when a Corvette and pickup collide

A Friday morning ****** on a rural Benton County highway killed a 68-year-old Yakima man and left two others hurt.

James L. Sandall was pulling out from the Vernita Rest Area near the Vernita Bridge in a 2018 Corvette onto Highway 24 when a GMC Sierra pickup slammed into his car, the Washington State Patrol said in a traffic memo.

The ****** happened about 11 a.m. Friday.

Highway 24 is also known as the Hanford highway because it crosses a large section of the Hanford nuclear site. Because it’s a two-lane highway, both lanes can exit and enter the same Washington state rest area just south of the bridge that crosses the Columbia River.

Sandall died at Kadlec Regional Medical Center in Richland.

The Corvette’s passenger, Carrie A. Greenough, 62, of Yakima, and the GMC driver, Rhonda G. Procell, 66, of Bovill, Idaho, were also taken to Kadlec, the state patrol said. Their conditions were not immediately available.

A passenger in the GMC, Robin D. Taylor, 65, of Rochester, Wash., was not hurt.

Everyone was wearing a seat belt, said the WSP.

No other information was available Friday evening.
