A Vancouver man was killed in a crash early Wednesday morning on Interstate 5 in Oregon, according to the Oregon State Police.
Preliminary information indicates that a 2000 Mercedes sport-utility vehicle traveling north on the freeway at about 2:10 a.m. drifted onto the shoulder, and the driver lost control, police said in a press release. The vehicle left the roadway near Milepost 117 and rolled several times, coming to rest near some homes by the freeway, police said.
A 36-year-old passenger, whose name was not released, was ejected from the vehicle and pronounced dead at the scene. Police said that the Vancouver man was not wearing a seat belt.
The driver, a 34-year-old woman, and two juvenile passengers, all from Vancouver, were taken to a hospital for injuries that were not life-threatening, police said.
