MESA – A headon collision near Connell Wednesday left one person with a nearly-severed arm. Washington State Patrol says, a box truck crossed the center line on SR 17 north of Mesa and hit a vehicle known as a “Hay Squeezer” that was heading in the opposite direction. A passenger in the box truck sustained a serious arm injury with a possibly severed limb, the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office reported. The driver of the hay truck sustained minor injuries. Troopers are still investigating, but they did confirm that alcohol and drugs were not a factor.
