MOSES LAKE, Wash. (AP) — Grant County authorities say a 40-year-old Warden man who died after a chase and crash at Moses Lake died from an overdose of methamphetamine.

The Columbia Basin Herald reported autopsy results Thursday for David Folden.

The Washington State Patrol says he sped away from a trooper March 15 after a traffic stop and crashed into a concrete irrigation structure.

Officers and an aid crew performed CPR but he died at the scene. Officers found a bag that apparently contained drugs in his mouth.
