Tigard Police investigators now believe there is likely a second vehicle involved in a hit and run that occurred last month which left a Beaverton man seriously injured. Video obtained from the scene and other locations now point to a second vehicle, possibly a white Honda Civic sedan with a spoiler or similar style vehicle. Video captured from a roadside assistance vehicle arriving at the scene clearly indicates a secondary vehicle departing. Evidence remaining at the scene still point to a gray 98-02 Honda Accord as the likely primary suspect vehicle. Police are still looking for the driver allegedly responsible for striking 32 year-old Andrew Thompson while he was attending to his disabled vehicle parked in the shoulder along the on-ramp to northbound Highway 217 at Pacific Highway in Tigard. Police estimate that Thompson was struck sometime shortly after 3:00 a.m. on November 12, 2011. Tigard Police is presently working with the video and other still photographs obtained in efforts to locate the owners of both vehicles believed to be involved. Police are still interested in hearing from anyone who may have information regarding the incident.
