Family, friends, and the Clarkston community are mourning the tragic loss of Alan J. Larkin, 42, of Clarkston, who died in a fatal collision on U.S. Highway 195. His sudden passing has left loved ones grieving as authorities continue investigating the circumstances surrounding the crash.
According to the Washington State Patrol, the collision occurred on Friday morning when Larkin was traveling southbound on Highway 195. Investigators reported that his vehicle crossed the center line for reasons that have not yet been determined before colliding head-on with an oncoming vehicle.
Emergency responders arrived at the scene shortly after the crash was reported and attempted to provide assistance. Despite their efforts, Alan J. Larkin was pronounced dead at the scene.
The driver of the other vehicle sustained injuries and was transported to a nearby hospital for treatment. Authorities have not released additional information regarding the individual’s condition. Investigators confirmed that both drivers were wearing seat belts at the time of the collision.
