Two weeks ago, Southeast Portland resident Karl Hugo was gravely injured when he rode through the intersection of SE 50th and Lincoln Street and collided with a truck.
After the crash, Hugo was admitted into the Intensive Care Unit at the OHSU where he arrived in a coma, with one collapsed lung and severe brain trauma.
According to friends, Hugo does not have health insurance, and with mounting medical bills they’re planning several events to help raise money to pay for them (they’ve also set up a website with more information).
Here are more details on the events (submitted by Karl’s friend Rebecca Casanova):
