Yacolt, WA : Driver killed in single-vehicle crash west of Yacolt on Monday, 3rd December 2018

A teenage driver was killed in a single-vehicle crash Monday morning on an icy rural road west of Yacolt.

Firefighters with Clark County Fire District 10 and Clark County sheriff’s deputies were dispatched about 9 a.m. to the intersection of Northeast Gabriel and Kelly roads for a report of a rollover crash.

The driver lost control of their Dodge pickup on Northeast Kelly Road, about a quarter-mile from Gabriel Road. The pickup crossed the center line, struck a tree and rolled, fire Chief Sam Arola said.

“There was a lot of black ice” on the roads in the area, Arola said. “It’s all melted now.”

The truck was upside down and off the road when responders arrived, according to a news release from the sheriff’s office. Witnesses told deputies they saw the pickup “fishtailing” on ice before crashing.

Northeast Kelly Road was closed for several hours while deputies investigated.
