A Battle Ground man was killed Wednesday when his motorcycle crashed into a pickup near the rural Meadow Glade neighborhood, according to the Clark County Sheriff’s Office.

The crash, reported at 7:13 p.m., occurred at the intersection of Northeast 72nd Avenue and Northeast 159th Street.

A CCSO bulletin said Vadim S. Gensitskiy, 20, of Battle Ground was riding south on Northeast 72nd Avenue when an eastbound 2013 Toyota Tundra pickup driven by James A. Spencer, 62, of Battle Ground pulled into his path at Northeast 159th Street.

“Witnesses reported the motorcycle was traveling well in excess of the posted 50 mph speed just prior to the collision, and had passed at least one southbound vehicle just before crashing,” the bulletin said.

The motorcycle caught fire in the crash, the bulletin said. Gensitskiy was pronounced dead at the scene.
