A tragic investigation is underway in Centralia following the death of a five-month-old child, while authorities continue searching for the driver in a hit-and-run bicyclist incident in the same area. A minor 3.5 magnitude earthquake struck near West Salem earlier today, though the region experienced pleasant early autumn weather with temperatures in the upper 60s and good air quality throughout the day.
