PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — The Tillamook County Sheriff’s Office is asking for the public’s help to identify the driver involved in a pedestrian hit-and-run, which seriously injured a 42-year-old man near the intersection of Cape Kiwanda Drive and Nestucca Ridge Road in Pacific City on Aug. 19.
The lead investigator of the case, TCSO Deputy Jordan Reyes, is asking members of the public who live or work on Cape Kiwanda Drive between Pacific Avenue and Doryland Pizza to check their security cameras for possible footage of the involved vehicle. Evidence of the crash would likely be captured on Aug. 19 between the hours of 2 a.m. and 2:40 a.m.
“We are looking for footage of vehicles driving in the area and of the victim walking,” Reyes said.
Reyes responded to the scene of the crash at approximately 2:28 a.m., after the Pacific City man was found lying in the roadway, bloodied from an apparent hit-and-run crash.
“The man was severely injured and was Life-Flighted to OHSU and medical personnel at the hospital advised me that his injuries were [consistent] with being struck and dragged by a vehicle,” Reyes said.
Anyone with information about the case is asked to contact the Tillamook County Sheriff’s Office.
