Washington State Patrol troopers responded to the crash around 8 a.m. this morning.
The crash was on eastbound I-90, about four miles east of Sprague, and partially blocked the roadway for several hours.
The crash was originally reported as an injury rollover crash involving one vehicle. But just after two hours of being on scene, troopers updated the incident to a fatality collision.
