Pedestrian was ran over by a vehicle that fled the scene
VANCOUVER – On Sunday (Jan. 28), at about 6:50 p.m., Vancouver Police responded to the 13500 block of NE Fourth Plain Blvd. for the report of a vehicle vs. pedestrian collision. As emergency responders were arriving, bystanders were performing CPR on the victim, however he succumbed to his injuries.
According to witnesses, the pedestrian, a 67-year-old male, was crossing Fourth Plain Blvd. from north to south. He was not in a crosswalk. The driver of a pickup truck traveling eastbound did not see the pedestrian and struck him.
The driver stopped, which caused a line of vehicles to back up. A car pulled out of the line of traffic, swerved passed the stopped vehicles, and ran over the victim, who was lying in the roadway, before fleeing the scene. The hit-and-run vehicle was described as a dark-colored sedan.
The Vancouver Police Department Traffic Unit is continuing the investigation.
