PORT ANGELES – Port Angeles Police continue investigating a vehicle-pedestrian collision Saturday night.
Just before 9 pm, they were called to a reported collision between a car and a pedestrian on Hwy 101 near Cherry and Oak St. Arriving Officers found a seriously injured male that appeared to have been struck by a vehicle. PA Fire Paramedics and EMTS arrived and initiated advanced life support. The seriously injured patient was transported to the Olympic Medical Center and then later transported to Harborview Hospital in Seattle.
The investigation is still in progress and the driver of the involved vehicle is cooperating with the investigation. WA State Patrol responded and is assisting with the accident reconstruction.
Investigators are working to establish where the pedestrian was when he was stuck by the vehicle and other factors regarding the collision. Officers are also canvassing the adjacent neighborhood to determine if the subject is the same person who had been reported earlier to be trespassing in a yard and possibly intoxicated.
Anyone who might have any information regarding this event and has not talked with law enforcement is asked to call PAPD at 360 452 4545 (ex 1) and ask to speak with an officer.
