A Battle Ground man running late for a court hearing was driving and talking on his cell phone when he left state Highway 14, crossed another street and then crashed into a fence Thursday morning, according to Washington State Patrol.

Victor Gensitskiy, 25, was driving west on the highway, headed toward Clark County Superior Court where he was late for a court hearing, according to a W.S.P. Trooper.

“He was on the phone with the court asking to reschedule when they told him no,” the trooper said said.
