News A Portland man was injured following a traffic collision on Highway 14 early Friday morning.
According to a Washington State Patrol memo, at approximately 3:15 a.m. Charles F. Heenan, of Portland, was driving a 1992 Ford Ranger pickup eastbound on SR-14, near milepost 11, when he lost control of the vehicle and hit the jersey barrier.
Heenan, 28, exited the vehicle to check out the damage. A 2001 Honda Civic, driven by Daniel C. Kelliher, 18, of Camas, then struck the Ford Ranger, which then hit Heenan and knocked him over the jersey barrier.
Heenan was injured and transported to PeaceHealth Southwest Medical Center in Vancouver, where he was treated and released.
Kelliher was not hurt.
The memo states that the collision was caused because Kelliher was driving his vehicle too fast for road conditions, which were likely slippery due to freezing rain that fell Thursday night and into Friday morning.
According to the WSP, no charges will be filed.
