Man hit by bus near Gorge Amphitheatre

QUINCY — A Spokane Valley man was airlifted to an out-of-area hospital after he was struck by a bus near the Gorge Amphitheatre early Friday morning.

Alexis Morga-Sevilla, 29, was hit by the bus after he stepped into the road at about 1:30 a.m. Friday, said Kyle Foreman, public information officer for the Grant County Sheriff’s Office. 

Morga-Sevilla was walking near Silica Road and Sagecliff Road Northwest, Foreman said, and was wearing dark clothing at the time of the incident.

“The bus was a shuttle bus that moves between Wild Horse Campground and the Gorge venue itself, moving concertgoers,” Foreman said. 

The bus was driven by Mark Wanke, 69, of Ephrata. 

The case is still under investigation, Foreman said.
