News Release
Fatal motorcycle versus car collision in Brush Prairie area - 06/02/23

On June 1st, 2023, at approximately 21:26 hours, Clark County Sheriff’s Office, Clark County Fire District 3, Vancouver Fire Department and American Medical Response (AMR) personnel responded to the 13900 block of NE 172nd Ave to a report of a motorcycle versus car collision.  First responders arrived to find an adult male occupant of Volkswagen sedan with serious injuries and requiring extrication.  The driver of the Volkswagen was transported to a local hospital.  The operator of the motorcycle was not immediately located, but after searching the area, a deceased adult male was located in the nearby brush. 

The initial investigation indicates the offroad style motorcycle was traveling south on NE 172nd Ave when it was struck by the Volkswagen traveling north on NE 172nd Ave and passing a witness vehicle.  The Volkswagen then struck a power pole.

Based on initial information, it appears speed and alcohol may have been contributing factors in the collision.

The Clark County Sheriff’s Office Traffic Unit is investigating this collision.  Names of those involved are not being released at this time.
