[Publisher’s Note: Normally I wouldn’t report this story. Traffic collisions happen every day and sometimes they involve a person on a bike. I don’t consider them newsworthy simply because a bicycle is involved. In this case, I decided to publish more information about this collision because of questions some readers had following a minor mention of it in The Oregonian on Saturday. — Jonathan]
A minor collision at the intersection of NW Broadway and Glisan sent a woman to the hospital on Saturday morning.
We have learned from the Portland Police Bureau that 50-year-old Alan Moditz from Ridgefield, Washington was driving a four-door Hyundai southbound on NW Broadway when a collision occurred with a bicycle being ridden by 37-year old Megan Neuman from southeast Portland.

“This shows a level of negligence and disregard for other people’s lives that cannot be allowed in Portland if we want to keep our roads safe,”
Sean DuBois, Skof’s attorney
Lawyers for Robert Skof, who was hit from behind by Mt. Hood Skibowl owner Kirk Hanna while bicycling in southwest Portland last year, say a settlement has been reached in the case.
On May 23rd 2011, the 45-year-old Skof, was riding on SW Macadam near the Sellwood Bridge when police say he was hit from behind after Hanna, 49, lost control of his Porsche Cayenne SUV. Hanna was going around 80 mph prior to the collision and witnesses reported that not only did he leave Skof for dead on the side of the road, he actually sped up once witnesses tried to chase him down. Three months later, Hanna pleaded guilty to misdemeanor Hit and Run, DUII, and misdemeanor Assault (many people were not pleased with those charges, so the Portland Police Bureau explained why that was the best they could do).
Skof’s lawyers, Shulman DuBois LLC, released a statement today saying that they’ve reached a settlement with Hanna. Here’s an excerpt:

We hope everyone takes time today, on Memorial Day, to remember those who have served our country.
Once you’ve done that, have a read of the top news and other cool stuff that caught our eyes this past week…
– If you’re out riding today you might want to be extra-vigilant; it turns out more people run red lights while driving a car on Memorial Day than on other comparable days.
– Three new routes in the US Bicycle Route (USBR) system were approved and received their official designations: USBR 35 in Michigan, USBR 45 in Minnesota, and a realignment for USBR 1 in North Carolina.
– A study from the Brookings Institue has found real estate values are higher in neighborhoods which are more accesible to walking, biking, and taking transit and the study has already received attention from The New York Times.
