Vancouver Police arrested a man on suspicion of intentionally ramming a rideshare vehicle carrying his wife, an incident that left the driver injured and caused significant damage to the car. According to reporting by KOIN News, officers located and detained the man, identified by police as K. Lodge, after an area search.

Police statements cited in the KOIN report describe the collision as an intentional act. The rideshare driver was transporting Lodge’s wife when Lodge allegedly drove into the back of the vehicle. The impact reportedly injured the driver, though the extent of those injuries has not been detailed in publicly available information. The vehicle suffered heavy damage.

According to the KOIN report, officers later found Lodge and placed him under arrest. The case is being treated as a domestic violence incident, based on police allegations outlined in the station’s reporting. As of the latest available information, authorities have not released additional details about charging decisions or court scheduling.

While the incident occurred in Vancouver, domestic violence cases involving vehicular assaults have drawn increasing attention across Southwest Washington. Such cases often involve multiple jurisdictions and can place additional strain on regional emergency response systems, including those serving Cowlitz County communities immediately north of Vancouver along the I‑5 corridor.

Columbia Countercurrent will continue monitoring for updates from officials if additional information becomes publicly available.
