The Washington State Patrol has identified the person killed in an early morning single-vehicle crash Thursday on state Highway 14 as a Vancouver man.
Darin Thorp, 42, was driving east in a 2000 Chevrolet Avalanche when it left the roadway and rolled about 35 feet into a ditch east of South Lieser Road. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
The crash, which occurred about 5 a.m., closed one lane of Highway 14 for about three hours.
WSP spokesman Will Finn said that alcohol appeared to be a contributing factor in the crash, but added that fatigue is also being considered as a possible contributor. Thorp was not wearing a seat belt, Finn said.
