A witness told KATU that he saw several women hit by a vehicle on the sidewalk in front of a Starbucks.
The driver of an SUV plowed his car into at least three people walking on a sidewalk on the Portland State University campus this morning. Those victims are in the hospital, two with life-threatening injuries, Portland police say.
The crash occurred at the intersection near Southwest 6th Avenue and Montgomery Street on the Portland State University campus. A witness, Christopher Bond, said the blue SUV drove onto the sidewalk near the campus’s streetcar plaza.
“It looked like he kind of ran them over,” Bond told WW’s news partner KATU-TV at the scene. He said it looked like the driver “gunned it” after hitting the first two people.
He said the car was driving between 40 and 45 miles per hour and described the three victims as women.
The driver sped away from the scene and is still at large. The Oregonian reports that police are looking for “a blue 2005 Mazda Tribute with front-end damage and a leaking radiator.”
“It is unclear if the collision was an accident or a purposeful attack. It comes at a sensitive moment: Tomorrow is the one-year anniversary of a double slaying on a Portland MAX train by a white supremacist. On April 23, a man who wanted revenge on women killed seven people with his car in Toronto.”
So there you have it: without any idea whatsoever about any suspect, let alone motive, the article implies it was done by either a “white supremacist” or a “misogynist”. Forget the dozens of similar crimes committed world-wide by muslims, it’s those darned white guys again!
The driver was just in a hurry to find a free public bathroom.
I think Starbucks is just a crazy magnet.
Whoever the driver was, I hope he was high as a kite on their legal Oregon weed.
Ask any “Studies” student on campus: It was just a freedom fighter.
Case solved. No self respecting white male would be caught dead in a 2005 Mazda Tribute. Gotta be a goat fooker.
Odd. No one mentioned race of perp. So ya know he’s probably a beloved rag head. In that part to town there are still too many Bernie and Hillary bumper stickers to count so I’m guessing driver was a nut job who fit right in.
Suspect arrested “A Portland police source said the registered owner of the SUV is flagged in the bureau’s database as suicidal with mental health issues. Police also believe the crash was intentional based on witness statements.”
So, WTF was he doing with a driver’s license and keys to a car?
