The details of a hit-and-run crash in Washington County last Saturday have been making their way around the web. Friends of the victim are hoping to find the driver in order to bring them to justice.

The victim—the mother of 2 year-old triplets—was forced off the road by a pickup towing a boat trailer and is in the hospital with a severe arm injury.

John Shader, a coach with Portland Team in Training who was riding just behind the crash, said to be on the lookout for a “shiny bright red late model pickup truck towing a very new looking red boat, possibly a 23 foot Centurian model.”

The crash happened on Hwy 219 North (Hillsboro – Newberg Highway) a little west of Scholls Ferry Road. If you see this vehicle, try and get the license plate number and contact Washington County police.

For complete details on this incident, see this email posted by Shader on the OBRA email list.
