Authorities identified 19-year-old Vance Jourdan as the victim who died following a crash on Friday morning in Yakima.
The fatal single-vehicle crash took place at the Yakima airport. According to the investigation reports, a vehicle ran into the Yakima Air Terminal control tower, causing the airport to be closed. Reports further added that the vehicle was going at a high rate of speed when it veered off the road and slammed through power boxes and into the control tower.
The accident and the damage to the power boxes and control tower had forced the airport to cancel some flights. Officials believe that the driver was impaired at the time of the collision. Coroner Jim Curtice said that blunt force trauma is the official cause of death. No other details are available.
An investigation is continuing.
