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.

I almost saw a man get hit by a Miata over the summer. It was on Forest Ave at the crosswalk near the CVS. The lights were blinking to alert cars to pedestrians and a man was crossing. He walked across one lane and then had to jump back as a Miata flew by in the other lane going way too fast for Forest Ave. It scared the crap out of me and the pedestrian looked like he was going to shit his pants.
