The following incident was posted on PDXFixed this evening…
On my way to work yesterday (about 2:30), I was going down Moody, just past the Ross Island Bridge. I saw someone on a red road bike get hit by a black sedan, then the sedan drove off.
Front wheel looked all fucked up. Roadie started getting up and seemed alright so I pursued the car. Caught up to him 4 or 5 blocks later at a stopped intersection and got his LP number (while he got out of his car, told me to “mind my own fucking business,” and started to approach me in a threatening way). I rode back to where said cyclist was hit, but he was gone.
Is this anyone on here or anyone’s friend? I’d really like to get that info to the person so they can get their ride fixed.
