  • Where did you get the information that he got a dui? He is free as of now at snoqualmie church where the family is getting together to pray and help with search efforts.

  • Released via bail or own recognizance. Going southbound in that area means he must’ve crossed the centerline into the river. At almost 2 in the morning. Can’t even imagine what must’ve been going on. Horribly tragic.

    1. No other car. “Collision” was from the WSP press memo and in my experience with these memo’s they just have terms they use. This one was termed “personal injury collision” as the incident type.
