A 57-year-old man died Friday after being struck by an SUV in the Sea Mar Clinic parking lot, according to the Vancouver Police Department.

Police responded at 5:32 a.m. to 7803 N.E. Fourth Plain Blvd., for a report of a motorcyclist who had been hit.

Witnesses said they overheard the motorcyclist and other people in the parking lot possibly getting into some type of confrontation. They then heard a crash and saw the dark-colored SUV driving out of the parking lot and the motorcyclist on the ground, the police department said in a news release late Friday afternoon.

The motorcyclist was taken to an area hospital but did not survive his injuries, police said. Authorities did not release his identity.

Detectives from the Vancouver Police Department Major Crimes Team are investigating.
