Bail set in fatal crash

EPHRATA — A Ephrata man’s bail was set at $1 million for his alleged involvement in a collision that took the life of an 8-year-old girl Wednesday.

Grant County prosecutors charged Neil McLeod, 36, of Ephrata, with first-degree manslaughter and four counts of vehicular assault.

Grant County Superior Court Judge John Knodell followed Chief Deputy Prosecutor Alan White’s recommendation and set McLeod’s bail at $1 million.

Grant County Sheriff’s Motor Traffic Unit investigators are asking anyone who witnessed the Durango on D Street in the moments before the collision, or the collision itself, to come forward with what they witnessed. Anyone with information is asked to contact Sgt. Josh Sainsbury at 509-750-7306 or via email at jsainsbury@grantcountywa.gov.

A special account was set up at Washington Trust Bank to benefit Grubb. The account is under “Justin Grubb” for anyone who wants to donate.
