MOSES LAKE — A man from Montana died in an accident on Interstate 90 early Thursday morning after he was ejected from his vehicle.

About 6 a.m. Andre Walker, 31, of Missoula, Mont., was driving a 2007 Chrysler Sebring east on I-90, about half a mile east of Moses Lake, when he drifted to the left and went into the median. Walker overcorrected and went back to the right, crossing both lanes of travel.

Walker’s car left the road to the right, rolled and came to a rest on its wheels on South Frontage Road, according to the Washington State Patrol. Walker was reportedly not wearing a seatbelt. He was ejected from the vehicle and died at the scene.

The patrol is investigating the cause of the accident.
