An arrest was made of a 31-year-old Hoquiam resident Tuesday night in connection with the incident at the Donkey Creek Campground in Grays Harbor County on May 27 in which two young men were run over by a truck, killing 20-year-old James Kramer of Taholah and critically injuring 19-year-old Harvey Anderson of Aberdeen.

James D. Walker was booked into the Grays Harbor County Corrections Facility for second-degree homicide, said a news release from Gray Harbor Country Undersheriff Dave Pimentel.

Walker’s arrest came about as a result of a tip developed by a Hoquiam Police officer who was familiar with the suspect, Pimmentel said. The investigation continues, he added, and involves deputies from the Grays Harbor County Sheriff’s Office, the Grays Harbor County Drug Task Force, the Hoquiam Police Department and the Quinault Indian Nation Police.

The investigation revealed the identity of three passengers in the vehicle: a 27-year-old Hoquiam woman, a 29-year-old Hoquiam man and a 30-year-old Hoquiam woman.

“These people were interviewed and the prosecutor will be reviewing their knowledge and involvement in the incident for consideration of further charges,” Pimentel said.

A white 4-by-4 pickup truck has been located and seized as evidence, Pimentel said.

An earlier Sheriff’s report said the suspect was seen driving recklessly doing doughnuts on a gravel bar at the Donkey Creek Campgrounds in the Humptulips area of Grays Harbor County on Saturday morning at about 1:30 shortly before the incident occurred and the two Quinault tribal members were run over.

After that report was released publicly, the Quinault Indian Nation also issued a news release to add additional details. Witnesses said Kramer saved Anderson’s life by pushing him away from the oncoming vehicle and took the brunt of the hit himself, the Quinault release said. Both were initially treated at Grays Harbor Community Hospital before being taken to Tacoma General, where Kramer died at about 10 p.m. on Sunday.
