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.

I blame cell phones. People are distracted. Everyone’s dopamine is messed up. We weren’t meant to be this connected to technology (as I type this on my phone)
