Date:<\/strong> October 31, 2009
\nUbicaci\u00f3n:<\/strong> Oregon 99E near South Lone Elder Road, Aurora, Oregon

The Oregonian<\/em> reports that Oregon State Police have identified a Sam Barlow High School assistant football coach as a suspect in a hit-and-run crash that seriously injured Benjamin Story, 23, of Aurora, on October 31, 2009. Larry Scott Vang, 46, of Salem, had not been charged with a crime as of November 5, and the investigation is ongoing.<\/p>\n

According to AOL Video, Story admits he was drunk while walking along 99E, but he said that doesn\u2019t give anyone an excuse to hit him and leave him lying in the road.<\/p>\n

Around 1 AM, police received several calls about a man walking in the middle of Oregon 99E near South Lone Elder Road, north of the Clackamas-Marion county line. When they arrived at the scene, they found Story lying on the south side of the highway, with serious but not life-threatening injuries. He was flown to Legacy Emanuel Medical Center by Life Flight helicopter and has since been released.<\/p>\n

Police begin searching for a Toyota SUV with front-end and hood damage. Soon after, they learned that Vang had called 9-1-1 to report that he might have struck something on Oregon 99E. Vang was driving a white 2007 Toyota RAV sport utility vehicle.<\/p>\n

Investigators confirmed to The Oregonian<\/em> that Vang\u2019s car struck Story<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Vang has been coaching football at Barlow for seven years; before that, he was varsity girls softball coach for 14\u00a0 years. In his current position, he coached varsity and junior varsity running backs and special teams.
\nAnyone with information regarding the investigation is asked to call OSP Senior Trooper Jason Lindland at (503) 731-3020 ext. 457.<\/p>\n
