Rachel Casper Killed, Allister Gollihugh Involved in Pedestrian Crash on Northeast 139th Street Near Northeast 82nd Avenue

 
VANCOUVER, WA (June 19, 2020) — A 28-year-old woman died following Saturday’s pedestrian accident on Northeast 139th Street near Northeast 82nd Avenue.
 
According to the Clark County Sheriff’s Office, the incident happened around 7:30 p.m. just before deputies and emergency responders arrived in the 8300 block of Northeast 139th Street.
 
A 911 caller reported that her daughter had been struck by a vehicle.
 
Upon arriving, First Responders found 28-year-old Rachel Casper lying in the front yard of her home. Despite life-saving attempts rendered by paramedics, Casper succumbed to her injuries.
 
Witnesses say she and her father were about to walk to a neighbor’s house when a Chevrolet Suburban SUV, heading eastbound, left the roadway and struck a power pole. 25-year-old Allister Gollihugh of Keizer — the driver of the Suburban — subsequently struck Casper in the driveway before ramming into a large tree.
 
Following the accident, Gollihugh stayed at the scene and cooperated with police investigators.
 
Gollihugh exhibited no signs of impairment during the investigation, leading detectives to scour for other reasons that could explain the cause of the accident. Neither Gollihugh nor Casper’s father sustained injuries in the accident.
 
Any witnesses who can help detectives are encouraged to come forward.
