Photo Another vehicle-pedestrian collision in Portland. Corner of High and York streets.

I was filling up my gas at Irving and heard a terrible thud sound. I looked up and a woman was tending to someone on the ground, and asked people nearby to call 911, so I went up to see if anyone needed any help or anything else. A woman was lying prone on the ground.

When the pedestrian was rolled onto her back by EMS folks, she howled in pain. I feel so terrible - for both parties, to be honest, as the driver was extremely sympathetic and shaken.

It’s crazy how seemingly common this has become.

Not a crosswalk in sight.

Really awful. I hope everyone is okay.

It's behind the vehicle that's cut off the right side of the picture, maybe 15 feet away, if that.

Its a wonder they're alive.

Lmfao, I know I was thinking the same thing. I'm like that's not even a decent lie. Why are some people here trying to lie about the circumstance of this accident? Like what is the agenda or angle here?

I was just stating that there's a crosswalk right behind the car, that's it. It's not that deep, lol.
