SPOKANE—A young Davenport man was killed after colliding with a semitruck while bicycling on State Highway 206 Thursday, July 20.
19-year-old Kenneth S. Brandenburg was pronounced deceased at the scene after crashing into a white 2019 Peterbilt truck driven by Jonathan M. Fron of Spokane Valley near North Newport Highway, State Highway 206 and North Market Street, according to a Washington State Patrol press release.
According to the release, Brandenburg crashed into the truck on its passenger side while bicycling westbound on State Highway 206 after the truck turned right onto State Highway 206 from a private lot.
