\nUbicaci\u00f3n:<\/strong> St. Johns Road and NE 41st St., Vancouver

A memorial was held Wednesday, September 23, at Hudson\u2019s Bay High School in Vancouver, Washington, for a popular teacher who was killed in a hit-and-run. The tragic accident took place at 4 PM on September 15, 2009, in the 4100 block of St. Johns Road in Vancouver. Gordon Patterson, 50, was on his bicycle when he was struck. The 18-year-old driver, who fled the scene, was taken into police custody later that day. He was held at Clark County Jail on felony hit-and-run charges<\/a>.<\/p>\n

When police arrived at the scene, a witness told them he saw a car speeding away from the accident site. The vehicle raced down a one-way road in the wrong direction, with the driver shifting in his seat to see out of his damaged windshield. The witness, who identified the car as possibly a Dodge Intrepid and described the driver, watched the car swerve from lane to lane before disappearing onto 44th Street. A police search led to a Plymouth Breeze with front end and windshield damage, parked in the 2400 block of NE 45th Street.<\/p>\n

Cellestine, who has a long criminal record, had told an acquaintance that he sold the car earlier that day. But after questioning, Celestine was arrested for the hit-and-run. He made his first court appearance the following morning.<\/p>\n

Patterson was a popular technology teacher at the high school, known for his smile and the white lab coat he seemed to perennially wear. A former principal at Hudson\u2019s Bay recalled, \u201cHe always looked at bringing out the best in kids.” Patterson had been at Hudson\u2019s Bay for 14 years.<\/p>\n

Mourners have been filling the site of the crash with flowers, and a candlelight vigil had been planned for 8 PM on Thursday, September 17, at the school.<\/p>\n

This hit-and-run is both a crime and a tragedy, and we offer our sincere condolences, both to Patterson\u2019s family and to the entire community trying to heal. Vancouver police are continuing to investigate, reportedly considering distracted driving as a possible factor. In addition, neighbors say the accident site is considered a dangerous stretch of road.<\/p>\n

Hit-and-runs are a serious violation of Oregon Vehicle Code 811.705. The hit-and-run driver must be held civilly and criminally responsible for his or her actions. In a case like this, the Patterson family may wish to contact a reputable Portland abogado de lesiones<\/a> with experience in hit-and-run crashes who will fight for the justice and compensation that they deserve. At DuBois Law Group, we believe that what happened to Gordon Patterson is simply unacceptable; we are committed to making sure that hit-and-run drivers are held accountable for their actions and that both victims and families receive the compensation they deserve.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
