ORONDO — An early morning car accident on Highway 2/97 resulted in two fatalities.
Just before 6 a.m., a 1993 Ford Probe driven by Luis Martinez Molina, 33, of Wenatchee was travelling eastbound and caught the slippery roadway, according to Washington State Trooper Jeremy Weber.
The vehicle crossed the centerline while rotating counterclockwise into the westbound traffic and was struck on its passenger side by a 2007 Honda Accord driven by Peter Kobzar, 61, of East Wenatchee.
Both cars were single-occupants and both drivers were wearing seatbelts.
Highway 2/97 was closed in both directions and was re-opened at 9 a.m.
