The teen suspect in a Friday (Nov. 21) hit-and-run collision between a vehicle and four pedestrians has turned himself in to Vancouver Police.
On Saturday (Nov. 22) at just after midnight, a 17-year-old male and his mother met officers at the Vancouver Police Department East Precinct, driving a 2008 Nissan Versa. After an interview with police, the juvenile was booked into the Juvenile Detention Center for four counts of Vehicular Assault and four counts of Felony Hit and Run.
The adult male victim, 30 years of age, remains hospitalized in critical condition. The children ages 10, 7 and 6 were hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries.
On Friday at about 3:20 p.m., Vancouver Police responded to SE 136th Avenue and SE 7th Street for the hit and run collision involving the adult male and three children who were hit by a vehicle that fled from the scene.
Video in the area captured an image of the suspect vehicle which appeared to be a 2007-2011 Nissan Versa with likely damage to the front driver’s side.
