Moses Lake man in critical condition after Memorial Day collision

MOSES LAKE — A Moses Lake man was in critical condition at Harborview Medical Center on Wednesday after the farm vehicle he was driving was hit by a car near Moses Lake on Monday.

Virgil Redwine, 68, was injured when the harrowbed he was driving was struck by an SUV driven by Rachael Bylin, 37, of Enumclaw. The collision occurred at about 10:30 a.m. at the intersection of Road 4 Northeast and Road E Northeast, west of Moses Lake in Mae Valley.

Kyle Foreman, public information officer for the Grant County Sheriff’s Office, said Bylin failed to stop at a stop sign on Road 4 Northeast.

A harrowbed is used to pick up bales in the field.

Redwine was flown to Confluence Health-Central Washington Hospital in Wenatchee before being transported to Harborview.

Bylin suffered non-life-threatening injuries and was transported by ambulance to Samaritan Hospital.

Three children in Bylin’s car, ages 8, 11 and 13, were not injured, Foreman said.

Foreman said Tuesday the case was still under investigation and no charges had been filed.

A video posted Wednesday by the sheriff’s office highlighted the need for safe driving in the area. The video states speed limits on Road 4 Northeast and Road E Northeast are 55 mph and 50 mph, respectively; the top speeds clocked that day on the roads were 76 mph and 70 mph, respectively.
