Tillamook County Sheriff’s Office needs your help identifying a hit-and-run suspect that left a local 42-year-old Pacific City man seriously injured. Lead Investigator, Deputy Jordan Reyes, is requesting suspect information and for people who live or have businesses along Cape Kiwanda Drive between Pacific Ave and Doryland Pizza in Pacific City, to search their surveillance camera footage for possible suspect vehicles, people walking or the incident itself.
“We are looking for footage of vehicles driving in the area and of the victim walking,” said Deputy Reyes. “The timeframe would be 8/19/2024 between the hours of 2:00 am to 2:40am.”
On 8/19/2024 at approximately 2:28 am, Deputy Reyes was dispatched to a hit and run located near the intersection of Cape Kiwanda Drive and Nestucca Ridge Road in Pacific City. Dispatch reported that a male subject was found lying in the roadway and appeared to have been struck by a vehicle.
When Deputy Reyes arrived on scene, medical personnel had already transported the injured man to the hospital. Deputy Reyes observed blood on the pavement and other evidence. “A witness came across the injured man and called 911. This witness stayed with the man until medical personnel arrived at the scene.”
“The man was severely injured and was Life-flighted to OHSU and medical personnel at the hospital advised me that his injuries were constant with being struck and dragged by a vehicle,” said Deputy Reyes.
