A man was struck and killed along Oregon 213 early Monday after he crashed a car into a gas station off the highway and fled a fiery blaze that erupted, Clackamas County authorities said.

The fatal incident began around 3:40 a.m. when an SUV plowed into a filling station pump at a Chevron near Clackamas River Drive in Oregon City, sparking a large fire, said Micah Shelton, a Clackamas Fire District 1 spokesman said.

The driver, who was the only person inside the SUV, bolted from the scene and scaled a nearby fence onto the side of Oregon 213, authorities said.

A minivan driving north then struck the man, killing him, Shelton said.

The crash caused traffic delays in Oregon City during the rush hour commute.

The incident remains under investigation.
