Grain elevator collapses near Edwall, knocking out power to rural area west of Spokane
A grain elevator collapsed early Wednesday in Edwall causing a brief power surge and warping a section of BNSF Railway track.
The collapse happened around 1 a.m. The bin, which is owned by Ritzville Warehouse Co. based out of Ritzville, appears to have been full of grain, some of which spilled out onto the ground.
