Officials identified 87-year old Allan Kelley, of Mount Vernon, as the elderly man who lost his life after being struck by a vehicle Friday on McLean Road.
As per the initial information, the authorities actively responded to the area on Mclean Road near Bradshaw Road after getting reports of an auto-pedestrian collision at about 5:53 p.m. on January 28th, 2022.
The preliminary reports showed that 87-year old Allan Kelley was trying to cross McLean Road and was walking in the Westbound Lane when he was hit and killed by a Westbound 2014 Toyota Tacoma being driven by 34-year old Chad Deyo of La Conner. The involved driver remained unharmed in the accident.
Officials believe that Deyo was under the influence of drugs or alcohol at the time of the collision and he was booked into the Skagit County Community Justice Center on an Investigative Hold for Vehicular Homicide.
The next of kin notification was made by Skagit County Sheriff’s Deputies at the scene. The Toyota was impounded to the Washington State Patrol Bullpen as evidence. No other details were provided.
An investigation is continuing.
