The single-vehicle crash took place on U.S. Highway 730 near Wallula Junction in Walla Walla County, approximately 15 miles east of Pasco at about 9:30 p.m. According to the investigation reports, Damion Isom was traveling east when he failed to maintain control of his 2017 Hyundai Elantra and crashed into a rock wall.

On arrival, paramedics rushed him by ambulance to Providence St. Mary Medical Center in unknown condition. The Elantra was totaled in the accident. Reports later added that the cause of the crash was distracted driving, and Isom was cited for driving with wheels off roadway. No other details are available.
