Pedestrian Injured in Vancouver Accident
Police said the pedestrian was struck by two cars around 6 p.m. on SE 164th Ave and that the second driver drove away.
A man on foot was seriously injured in a pedestrian crash on SE 164th Ave in Vancouver on Nov. 5, according to the Vancouver Police Department.
The Moments Before the SE 164th Ave Collision
Officers were sent to the area of Southeast 164th Avenue and Southeast 29th Street at about 6 p.m. Thursday. Police said the first car was heading north when it struck the pedestrian, a 35-year-old man, as he crossed in the crosswalk. He landed on the hood and windshield of the car, then fell onto the road, where a second car struck him. According to police, the first driver remained at the scene and phoned 911. Investigators said the second driver paused for a short time and then drove off. The man was taken to a hospital with serious injuries.
Where the Vancouver Police Investigation Stands
The Vancouver Police Department Traffic Unit is investigating and is seeking information about the second vehicle. Police said they do not suspect the first driver was impaired. Officials have not released any additional details.
In a hit-and-run, the first weeks are usually about finding the vehicle. Tips and home camera video from neighbors often matter most.

Your belongings. A damaged bike, phone, or clothes can be part of what insurance pays for.
Crash report. The crash report is usually ready a few weeks after the crash, and you can still get it later.
