On June 12, 2026, at approximately 6:24 a.m., Clark County Sheriff’s Office deputies, AMR personnel, and Vancouver Fire District 6 firefighters responded to a single-vehicle collision involving a vehicle that struck a power pole in the 8200 block of NE Highway 99.
The vehicle caught fire following the crash. Witnesses helped the 44-year-old male driver from the vehicle before first responders arrived. The vehicle, a maroon 2008 Mazda 3, was fully engulfed in flames when emergency crews arrived on scene.
The driver, who was the sole occupant of the vehicle, was transported by AMR to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. The cause of the crash remains under investigation; however, impairment is not believed to be a factor.
NE Highway 99 is fully closed between NE 78th Street and NE 84th street while Clark Public Utilities repairs the damaged power pole and power lines. The full closure is expected to remain in place until approximately 9:30 a.m. Afterward, a single southbound lane is expected to remain closed for much of the day.
Motorists are encouraged to use alternate routes and expect delays in the area.
