Molalla – Police are investigating a mysterious hit and run that killed a man Friday morning. It happened on Highway 211 near Molalla.

According to police, 23-year-old Justin White was hit early that morning, but no one found him until late in the afternoon. White was found by Clackamas County road crews in a ditch along the side of the highway. Officials think was walking to his mother’s house that day.

Neighbors said they didn’t hear anything. “Usually we’ll hear tire squeal or something if somebody’s getting close to an accident. We had a rollover accident in the same spot a couple of years ago and heard it as it was happening. We get a lot of car wrecks, but usually we know when it’s happening,” said a neighbor.

Police won’t say what evidence they have, but they call it “solid.”
