A 28-year-old Vancouver woman was killed Saturday evening in her parents’ driveway after a passing car lost control and hit her.
Emergency crews were dispatched to the 8300 block of NE 139th Street at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday. A resident called 911 to report her daughter had been struck by a vehicle.
The victim, later identified as Rachel Casper, had been struck by a Chevrolet Suburban that was traveling eastbound on 139th Street. She was declared dead at the scene.
According to a statement by the Clark County Sheriff’s Office, witnesses said Casper and her father were preparing to walk to a neighbor’s house. That’s when the Chevrolet Suburban lost control, first hitting a power pole, then striking Casper in the driveway. The vehicle then collided with a nearby tree.
