Viktor Voloshin Dies in Fatal Pasco Tanker Accident
Fatal Pasco Tanker Trailer Incident Claims Viktor Voloshin – Obituary**
On Friday, Viktor Voloshin, a 56-year-old father, tragically lost his life inside a tanker truck at a fertilizer company in Pasco. Voloshin was cleaning the trailer with a hose at Two Rivers Terminal when he either climbed inside or accidentally fell in. The incident occurred in the afternoon at the company’s facility located on Glade North Road.
According to Chief Mike Harris of Franklin County Fire District 3, the exact time Voloshin entered the tanker remains unclear. Security footage showed him last seen around 4:15 p.m., standing on a ladder and spraying the inside of the tanker. Approximately 45 minutes later, when he was discovered missing, a 911 call was made. Voloshin was found inside the tanker, and it was quickly evident that he had passed away.
The chemicals being transported could potentially emit toxic gases, but it is uncertain if this contributed to his death. Franklin County Fire District 3, with support from the Pasco Fire Department, successfully recovered Voloshin’s body. While the circumstances of how and why he ended up inside the tanker are still under investigation, Harris confirmed that the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office has ruled out foul play.
Family members have shared with the Herald that they believe Voloshin may have intentionally climbed inside rather than falling. An autopsy is anticipated later this week, as noted by Franklin County Coroner Curtis McGary.
A GoFundMe campaign has been set up by Andrew Lavrentiev to support Voloshin’s family. He is survived by his wife of 34 years, 12 children, and 16 grandchildren. The family expressed their grief, stating, “He was the best father we could ever ask for. He was always the friendliest person in the room.”
