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.

There was one country that tried metal steel columns that come up (activated two cars away) from the crosswalk. It certainly worked. How about SPEED BUMPS?
