Approximately 10 people were injured, at least two with serious injuries, including one person who was ejected from the vehicle they were riding in
VANCOUVER – On Wednesday (Aug. 6) at about 5:15 p.m., Vancouver Police responded to a multi-vehicle collision at SE Mill Plain Blvd./SE 160th Avenue. Callers reported a male driving a tow truck ran through a red light striking multiple vehicles.
Approximately 10 people were injured, at least two with serious injuries, including one person who was ejected from the vehicle they were riding in.
The suspect driver fled on foot and was seen by witnesses going toward an apartment complex in the 17700 block of SE Mill Plain, where police learned the suspect lived. SWAT was called to assist with contacting him, due to information he possibly had access to a gun.
Multiple announcements were made outside the suspect’s door, with no response. Officers utilized a UAS (uncrewed aircraft system) to look inside the apartment. The suspect was seen lying on the floor, not moving. SWAT medics entered and found the suspect deceased from what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Mill Plain from SE 160th-SE 164th was anticipated to be closed for several hours while the Vancouver Police Department Traffic Unit continued the investigation.
