A man who crashed his car into a wall after hitting and killing a woman on the sidewalk near Westfield Vancouver Mall claimed he didn’t know anyone had been hit and said his cousin was driving the car, according to court documents.
Matthew Purifoy, 33, appeared in court Tuesday morning on the charges of vehicular homicide and hit-and-run resulting in death.
He was arrested Monday after 57-year-old Anita Walters was hit and killed at Northeast Vancouver Mall Drive and Andresen Road.
Police initially received a report about an erratic driver on Interstate 5 northbound in Portland at 11:08 a.m. Monday.
According to court documents, witnesses reported a car traveling “side to side” on the freeway with a driver who appeared to be asleep and “drooling.” The car then struck a white pickup on the Glenn Jackson Bridge and kept going, a probable cause affidavit states.
The car, described as a maroon Monte Carlo with Oregon plates, then headed west on SR-500 and took the Andresen Road exit. Court documents state the driver slammed into a street light pole, knocked it to the ground and kept going.
The car turned right on Andresen Road and witnesses said it was traveling 60 mph and swerving back and forth across the road.
A probable cause affidavit states the car then drove toward two people walking on the sidewalk, narrowly missing one and hitting the other.
The driver kept going, court documents state, slowing down only a little before speeding away without stopping.
The victim was identified as Walters, who was serving on a county work release crew and wearing a yellow reflective vest at the time she was hit.
“I cried all night,” said friend Lezli Choquette. “Doing the best I can today to help the family and make up their arrangements.”
A short time later, police located the suspect’s car crashed into a wall on the east side of Andresen Road near 58th Street. According to court documents, Purifoy was in the driver’s seat, with a seat belt on, and was the only person in the car.
Police said the car was still running and the wheels were spinning. An officer yelled at the driver to turn the car off, but Purifoy responded by saying, “What do you want?” according to a probable cause affidavit.
