A Vancouver man was killed in a crash Tuesday morning on state Highway 500 near Andresen Road.
Jerry L. Ekstrom, 67, was driving a 2005 Ford F-250 truck east in the left lane of the highway near the Andresen overpass when he lost control of the vehicle. His pickup struck the concrete median barrier, crossed into the right lane, then hit the guardrail on the right shoulder. His vehicle went over the guardrail and hit a tree, according to a Washington State Patrol crash memo.
Ekstrom died at the scene. He was wearing a seat belt, according to the report.
Troopers said they do not know if drugs or alcohol were involved. The cause of the crash is under investigation, according to the report.
