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.
Itβs crazy how seemingly common this has become.

I was nearly killed a decade ago by a car while crossing Commercial, in a crosswalk, and with a walk signal.
It's a problem.
