Ivan Nikitin, 39, was pronounced dead at the scene
A Vancouver man was killed Friday in a collision in Hazel Dell involving a motorcycle and a car.
On Friday (Jan. 6) at about 1:45 p.m., Clark County Sheriff’s Office, Clark County Fire District 6 and American Medical Response (AMR) personnel responded just north of the intersection of NE 99th Street and NE Hazel Dell Avenue to a report of the collision. The motorcyclist was down and unresponsive. Callers to 9-1-1 stated bystanders came to the scene and began attempting cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).
Responding personnel found the motorcyclist had separated from the motorcycle and was partially underneath a white Volkswagen sedan. The sedan appeared to have been turning southbound onto NE Hazel Dell Avenue from a parking lot. The operator of the motorcycle appeared to be seriously injured and was pronounced deceased on scene by paramedics.
The operator of the motorcycle was identified as Ivan Nikitin, 39, of Vancouver.
The driver of the Volkswagen was uninjured and remained on scene.
Investigators learned that Nikitin had recently purchased the Suzuki DRZ motorcycle and had taken it out on a test ride Friday. Based on information obtained at the scene, it appears the speed of the motorcycle may have been a factor in the collision.
The Clark County Sheriff’s Office Traffic Unit is investigating this collision.
