Moses Lake, WA, May 7, 2025 – Two people were hospitalized following a multi-vehicle chain-reaction collision that occurred Friday evening on State Route 17 in Grant County, just south of Moses Lake. According to a statement from the Washington State Patrol (WSP), the incident involved three vehicles and resulted in injuries to 72-year-old Serafin Corona and 58-year-old Angela Hernandez-Espinoza. The crash was reported at approximately 5:20 p.m. on June 13. Preliminary findings indicate that a 2002 Toyota Corolla, driven by 17-year-old Gideon E. Tuller of Moses Lake, was traveling northbound on State Route 17 when it collided with the rear of a vehicle driven by Corona. The impact caused Corona’s car to lurch forward and crash into the back of a third vehicle—a station wagon—driven by 63-year-old Jose Espinoza of Moses Lake . Authorities noted that Tuller’s failure to maintain a safe following distance was a primary factor in the crash. WSP cited him for following too closely and not reducing his speed to avoid a collision. As a result of the accident, Corona, who was driving the middle vehicle, sustained injuries and was transported by ambulance to Samaritan Hospital in Moses Lake. Hernandez-Espinoza, a passenger in the rear vehicle, was also injured and transported for medical evaluation. Her injuries were described as non-life-threatening, but she was hospitalized as a precaution.
Two Injured in Three‑Vehicle Collision on SR 17 near Moses Lake
MOSES LAKE, WA – On the evening of May 5, around 9 p.m., a multi-vehicle crash occurred on northbound State Route 17, approximately five miles north of Moses Lake, Washington. According to the Washington State Patrol, the incident began when a vehicle driven by 36‑year‑old Jose Vasquez slowed to avoid a disabled car partially blocking the roadway. A second vehicle, driven by 58‑year‑old Jorge Solis, stopped behind him. A third vehicle, operated by 39‑year‑old Ana Sochirca of Moses Lake, failed to stop in time and struck Solis’s vehicle, pushing it into Vasquez’s car. Sochirca suffered minor injuries and was treated on-site, while the other two drivers remained unharmed. Two vehicles required towing, though the first was still drivable
