The driver involved in Monday night's fatal hit-and-run crash on U.S. 26 went home to Washington County, called 911 and waited for officers to arrive, Portland police said.

Brent McCune

Portland officers drove to Brent McCune's home at the 14100 block of Southwest Martingale Court after one person died and another was injured during a single-car crash around 10:30 p.m. east of the Vista Ridge Tunnel, said Sgt. Pete Simpson.

When officers arrived, they inspected McCune's 2009 Volkswagen Jetta before making the arrest, Simpson said. McCune, 59, was booked into a Multnomah County jail with accusations of two felony counts of failing to perform the duties of a driver, driving under the influence of intoxicants and reckless driving.

Traffic investigators believe McCune was driving southbound on Interstate 405 onto U.S. 26 when he struck two people on the roadway, Simpson said.

The crash killed a 31-year-old female and injured a 45-year-old man who was taken to the hospital. The pair were possibly trying to cross the highway on foot, Simpson said.

Their identifications are being withheld while officers work to notify family members, Simpson said.

Anyone with information about the crash is asked to contact Officer Phil Maynard at 503-823-2216 or by email at phillip.maynard@portlandoregon.gov.
