Pedestrian fatally struck on Oregon highway, driver sought

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — Oregon State Police are searching for a driver who fatally struck a pedestrian on Hwy 24 on Sunday.

The collision took place just after 1 a.m. near milepost 76 in Douglas County.

Officials say Dustin Rios, 30, was “in the lane of travel for an unknown reason and was struck by an eastbound vehicle on Highway 42 near Grant Smith Road.”

Rios was pronounced dead at the scene.

“Roadside evidence suggests the involved vehicle is a 2006-2011 black Honda Civic. Evidence from the scene indicated the vehicle sustained damage to the driver’s side mirror. Law enforcement also recovered an adhesive transparent window visor believed to have come from the driver’s side door,” OSP said.

The car was last seen traveling east on Hwy 42 toward Interstate 5 and may have continued northbound.

Anyone with information is asked to contact OSP.
