35-year-old Leah Olinger injured after being struck by a car while crossing against traffic signal (Vancouver, WA)

On Thursday morning, 35-year-old Leah Olinger, a Vancouver woman, suffered injuries after being struck by a car in Five Corners.

The auto-pedestrian accident took place at 6:32 a.m. at the intersection of State Highway 503 and Northeast 99th Street. The early reports indicated that Leah Olinger was crossing Highway 503 against a red crossing symbol.

On the other hand, 60-year-old Anatoli Shula, of Vancouver, was heading west on 99th Street in a Toyota Sienna and had a green light to make a left turn onto southbound Highway 503 when he hit Olinger.

On arrival, medics transported Olinger to PeaceHealth Southwest Medical Center in Vancouver. Authorities said that she was in stable condition as of Thursday afternoon. Shula remained uninjured as a result of the accident. Officers mentioned that failure to yield to a traffic device was the cause of the crash.

The incident remains under investigation.
