A driver struck and killed Brian Devin Coulson walking on Lancaster Drive last night. It was on the stretch of Lancaster just north of Sunnyview, and near McKay High School, where drivers have killed other people in the last couple of years.
From Salem PD today:
At approximately 11:30 p.m. on Thursday, January 16, officers responded to the report of an injured man in the roadway in the 2000 block of Lancaster DR NE. Paramedics performed lifesaving measures, but the pedestrian was ultimately pronounced deceased at the scene.
The preliminary report by the Salem Police Traffic Team indicates the driver was traveling southbound on Lancaster DR, south of Beverly AV NE when the victim was struck. The driver continued southbound with the victim separating from the vehicle after several blocks. The driver did not stop and left the area.
The victim of the hit-and-run collision is identified as 55-year-old Brian Devin Coulson of Salem.
Officers searched the area and at approximately 12:20 a.m. located the involved vehicle and driver in the vicinity of Cordon and Silverton RDS NE. The suspect is identified as 35-year-old Sergio Aguilar of Gervais.
Aguilar was taken into custody and lodged at the Marion County Jail on the following charges:
Manslaughter, second degree

Perhaps because of the charges and because the driver's errors are especially egregious, the media do not employ the exonerative voice. Reporting is relatively straight-forward and accurate, and this time there is not much to say about it.

Salem Reporter: "Man charged with killing Salem pedestrian in hit-and-run while intoxicated"
