A Portland man was injured after he crashed on state Highway 14, got out to assess the damage and was hurt by another crashing vehicle.

Charles Heenan, 28, was driving a blue 1992 Ford Ranger pickup east on the highway at about 3:15 a.m. Friday when he lost control and struck the Jersey barrier near Milepost 11, about 2 miles east of Vancouver, according to the Washington State Patrol.

Heenan exited the pickup to assess the damage when a 2001 Honda Civic approached and lost control, striking his vehicle and knocking Heenan over the Jersey barrier, troopers reported.

Heenan was taken to PeaceHealth Southwest Medical Center, where he was listed in satisfactory condition Friday.

The driver of the Honda, Daniel Kelliher, 18, of Camas was not injured.

Investigating troopers said the crash was caused by driving too fast for the conditions but said there won’t be any charges.
