Injured pedestrian airlifted to Harborview

A Stanwood man is in serious condition after being airlifted to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle early Saturday morning.
Matthew Vandeuren, 20, was lying on Dove Drive near Puffin Court on Camano Island when he was hit by a northbound 1998 Dodge Stratus driven by a Stanwood woman, age 23.
The accident remains under investigation, said Washington State Patrol Trooper Keith Leary. They are trying to determine why Vandeuren was on the roadway.
It is possible that a different vehicle hit Vandeuren first, before the driver of the Dodge Stratus struck him, Leary said.
The driver voluntarily submitted to a blood test, and there is no indication that drugs or alcohol were involved, he said.
