On 11/12/19 at 1758 hours CCSO Deputies and Vancouver Fire personnel were dispatched to a single vehicle collision in the 10200 block of NE 72nd Avenue in Vancouver.  This is a four-lane roadway with a 45mph speed limit, and is heavily traveled during this time of day.

Upon arrival, first responders discovered a power pole had been struck, and live electrical lines were down across the entire roadway.  The involved vehicle had been traveling south on NE 72nd Avenue and had driven off the west side of the roadway, collided with two trees and a power pole, and traveled through a cyclone fence at 10200 NE 72nd Avenue, Montage Dog and Cat Boarding.

The driver and sole occupant of the vehicle was unconscious and unresponsive at the scene.  Lifesaving efforts were undertaken at the scene and while enroute to the hospital. Sadly, the driver was pronounced dead at the hospital.  At this time, the CCSO Traffic Unit is investigating proximate causes to this collision. 

A vehicle traveling northbound was damaged by powerline guywires as they fell across the roadway.  No additional injuries were reported.

The driver was a male adult and his identification is being withheld pending notification of next of kin.
