WHITMAN COUNTY, WA (August 8, 2023) – Wednesday morning, the police responded to a deadly crash that killed Elizabeth Kahn.

It happened just before 8:50 a.m., August 2nd, on Highway 195 and Armstrong Road, just 3 miles north of Pullman.

According to the Washington State Patrol, a 2017 Nissan Sentra was driven by 28-year-old Elizabeth Kahn, and a semi-truck was driven by a 51-year-old man with a 52-year-old passenger.

Upon investigation, the officers determined that Kahn was headed northbound on Hwy 195 when she tried to pass over other vehicles when she collided head-on with the semi.

Unfortunately, responding authorities pronounced Kahn dead at the scene.

Furthermore, the two occupants of the semi-truck did not obtain any injuries in the collision. They were all wearing their seatbelts during that time, the police added.
