CCSO Traffic Detectives have identified a make and model of a suspect vehicle in the Hit and Run collision from yesterday. We are asking for the public's assistance in locating the vehicle involved in striking a pedestrian in the Felida area of Clark County and leaving the scene. Based on evidence left at the scene, CCSO Detectives are looking for a 2002-2005 Ford Escape SUV or similar vehicle, with fresh passenger side damage, including missing a passenger side mirror. The collision likely occurred around 3am, and was along a route that extends into the residential communities of Felida, Salmon Creek, and south Ridgefield.
If anyone locates a vehicle matching this description, we would ask that they contact 311 in Clark County (non-emergency line). I've attached a photo of a like vehicle (it is not necessarily the same color, just style).
The female struck in the collision continues to recover at an area hospital with significant injuries. She was identified as Debora A. Chillura, age 62. Chillura is from the Portland Metro Area, and was transient at the time of the collision.

On 9/16/19 at 0711 hours CCSO Deputies and EMS personnel were called to the 8000 block of NW Lakeshore Avenue in the Felida area of west Clark County. A 911 caller reported seeing a female lying in the ditch off of the roadway. Upon arrival, it was determined that the female had been struck by a vehicle sometime earlier in the morning. The female was transported to an area hospital with significant traumatic injuries. Scene evidence indicates a northbound vehicle struck the female, who was walking on or near the east shoulder of the roadway.
The CCSO Traffic Unit is investigating this collision and will update this press release as details emerge.
