We are sad to report that a member of the public was injured this morning in an off-road accident involving one of our vehicles. A Grant PUD employee was driving along the transmission line corridor near Highway 17 northwest of Moses Lake when the vehicle contacted the person. When the employee recognized what had happened, he immediately stopped, called 911, and stayed with the injured person until help arrived.
Emergency medical services took the person to receive medical care. Grant County Sheriff's Office responded and is investigating the incident. Grant PUD is fully cooperating with their investigation and is investigating the incident internally. We are hoping for healing and comfort for the injured person.
