The Vancouver Police Department is investigating a single-vehicle crash that killed a 22-year-old man in Vancouver — the fifth fatal crash Vancouver police have investigated this this year.
According to the agency, police responded shortly before 10 p.m. Saturday to a single-vehicle crash on North Andresen Road, just north of 63rd Street. The driver of the vehicle, who has not been identified, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police say the SUV was northbound on Andresen when the driver apparently failed to negotiate a curve in the road. The vehicle hit the curb, went up the embankment on the east side of the road and crashed into trees. Evidence at the scene indicated the vehicle was rolling as it hit the trees.
Speed was a factor in the crash, according to police. The Vancouver Police Department Traffic Unit is investigating.
