On December 2nd around 12:44 a.m., a witness called 911 to report a pedestrian was involved in a collision with a vehicle on NE Highway 99 near the intersection of NE 82nd Street in Vancouver. Witnesses reported the vehicle fled the scene immediately after the collision. First responders with Fire District 6, AMR, and the Clark County Sheriff's Office (CCSO) arrived to find the pedestrian died at the scene. The pedestrian is identified as Cynthia Clift.
Detectives have identified a vehicle of interest in this case. The vehicle appears to be a 2015-2019 white Chevrolet Silverado 2500 or 3500 Pickup Truck. The truck appears to be a long-bed model with a mid-rise (slightly above the top of the cab) truck cap over the bed. It also appears to be a gas model based on the badging.
After the collision, the vehicle did not stop and continued southbound on NE Highway 99, where it made a right turn onto NE 78th Street before going northbound on Interstate 5. The Traffic Homicide Unit requests assistance from the public in identifying the vehicle and involved driver. The vehicle may have some front-end damage related to the collision.
