A Clark County judge on Monday set bail at a combined $425,000 for a man accused of using his girlfriend’s vehicle to strike a rideshare car she was riding in, according to reporting by The Columbian.

Court documents described in that reporting state that the collision occurred in Clark County, where the woman was traveling as a passenger in a rideshare vehicle when the defendant allegedly used her car to ram the rideshare. The case was presented at a bail hearing earlier this week, during which the judge ordered the $425,000 bail amount.

According to The Columbian’s account of the hearing, the allegations include intentional damage to the rideshare vehicle and conduct that endangered both the driver and the passenger. As of Monday’s hearing, the man remains accused, not convicted, and the case is moving forward in Clark County Superior Court.

Incidents involving alleged vehicular assaults have drawn increased attention in Southwest Washington in recent years, particularly when rideshare drivers or passengers are involved. Local law enforcement officials have previously emphasized that even low‑speed vehicle‑to‑vehicle impacts can carry significant risk for bystanders and occupants.

Additional details, including charging documents and any future court dates, will proceed through the public court record as the case develops.
