Police and paramedics late Friday were at the scene of a fatal accident involving a pedestrian and vehicle on state Highway 14 near Pearson Field in Vancouver.
The accident was reported shortly after 9 p.m.
A man who was hit in the westbound lanes at the offramp to Columbia House Boulevard was pronounced dead at the scene, said firefighter-paramedic Kevin Stromberg of the Vancouver Fire Department.
Washington State Patrol Trooper Steve Schatzel said the driver of a disabled pickup had stopped on the right shoulder. A second pickup, equipped to tow the first one, arrived.
The driver of that vehicle had just hooked up legally required lights on the disabled pickup when he emerged from it and was struck by a car, Schatzel said.
