Cheney Pedestrian Hit & Killed By Car

A Cheney man was killed last night while trying to cross the highway. 61-year-old James L. Dahl was struck by a car while crossing State Highway 904 in the southwest section of Cheney.

The driver of the car that hit him, and a passenger in the car, were not hurt. An investigation into the cause of the accident is underway, so it is too early to determine whether charges will be pressed.

It was the same driver who injured cyclist Ted Chauvin on the Cheney-Spokane Road in April.

The word "accident" doesn't apply--let's call this a pattern of behavior by a reckless driver who is injuring and killing others.
