SPOKANE, WA — A driver suspected of impairment caused a multi-vehicle crash that injured two people Saturday evening, November 22, 2025, on U.S. Highway 395 north of Spokane, according to the Washington State Patrol (WSP).
The victims were identified only as 17-year-olds. WSP officials reported that Matthew Hall, 45, from Deer Park, was driving a 1998 Honda Accord north on Highway 395. A 2004 Dodge Ram was traveling behind him. As Hall approached West Russell Lane, he drove his Honda through the adjacent ditch, crossed onto Russell, and struck a 2017 Subaru Legacy waiting at the stop sign to turn onto U.S. 395. The force of the impact pushed the Subaru into the path of the pickup truck. The juveniles in the Subaru were injured and transported to Sacred Heart Medical Center. Hall initially attempted to flee the scene but was later apprehended and taken to Deaconess North. The crash remains under investigation.
