A pedestrian was struck and killed by a Washington County sheriff’s deputy in a patrol vehicle in Beaverton early Thursday, police said.

The crash occurred near Southwest Murray Boulevard and Southwest Bowerman Drive, next to the Nike headquarters, just before 2 a.m., according to Beaverton police.

An on-duty Washington County deputy was driving south on Southwest Murray when the pedestrian, an unidentified adult male, was hit.

The pedestrian suffered major injuries in the crash, police said, and despite efforts to save him by the deputy and emergency crews, he died at the scene.

Beaverton police said that investigators do not believe the deputy, who also was not identified, was speeding at the time of the crash and the deputy was crossing through the intersection with a green light.

A crash reconstruction team from the Beaverton Police Department was investigating the crash and the driver was placed on administrative leave while investigators work to determine how the collision occurred.
