On Tuesday, 33-year-old Benjamin Rupnick, a Lewiston man, suffered injuries following a rollover accident south of Spokane.
As per the initial information, the single-vehicle crash took place around noon on U.S. Highway 195, approximately 6 miles south of Spokane. The preliminary investigation revealed that Benjamin Rupnick was traveling north in a 1998 Chevrolet truck when his vehicle ran off the roadway, went down an embankment and flipped several times.
The impact ejected Rupnick from the truck while the vehicle ended up on top of him. Rupnick was not wearing a seat belt at the time of the accident. On arrival, medics transported him to Providence Sacred Heart Medical Center where he is listed in stable condition. The highway was partly shut down for a few hours as crews worked at the scene. It is unclear if drugs or alcohol played a factor in the crash. Charges are pending at this time.
An investigation into the crash is continuing.
