A driver was traveling westbound on NE Fourth Plain Blvd. when he saw a male walking in his lane of travel and did not have time to stop before hitting the pedestrian
VANCOUVER – Vancouver Police responded Saturday night (Oct. 5) at about 9 p.m., to the area of NE Fourth Plain Blvd. and NE 54th St. for the report that a vehicle had hit a pedestrian.
The driver was traveling westbound on NE Fourth Plain Blvd. approaching NE 54th St. when he saw a male walking in his lane of travel and did not have time to stop before hitting the pedestrian. The pedestrian did not survive his injuries. The driver cooperated with police and impairment on the part of the driver is not a factor in the crash.
While police were on scene investigating, a passerby stopped and told police they had seen the same pedestrian walking on NE Fourth Plain Blvd. eastbound in the westbound lanes, not far from where the collision occurred, and they had to swerve out of the way to avoid hitting him.
The Vancouver Police Department Traffic Unit is continuing the investigation.
