Portland: Scooter vs SUV
Jul 25th, 2006 | by Neil Barton | Posted in scooters | Comments Off
Having been hit by an SUV once, this is not a story I enjoy posting. SO how do we know this was an improper lane change? Do we only have the SUV driver’s statement on this?
An accident involving a scooter and an SUV snarled traffic along Interstate 405 Friday morning, police said.
It happened in the northbound lanes, north of Highway 26, about 8:45 a.m. when the scooter rider made an improper lane change and crashed into the rear passenger door of a Ford Explorer, according to police.
The driver of the Explorer, 26-year-old Anna Reichow, was not injured, said Sgt. Brian Schmautz with the Portland Police Bureau.
The driver of the scooter, a woman in her 40s, was transported to Oregon Health and Science University Hospital in critical but stable condition. Police have not released her name.
