Just after midnight last night, a Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office deputy discovered a disabled vehicle facing northbound in the southbound lanes of Northeast 102nd Avenue near Northeast Campaign Street in the City of Maywood Park.

Parked in a driveway on Northeast 102nd Avenue, this Jeep Wrangler was hit by a vehicle traveling northbound on 102nd Avenue last night.

The deputy made contact with the driver who was standing on the sidewalk next to the vehicle. Shortly after checking on the 16-year-old driver, the deputy saw an adult male sitting on the west sidewalk of Northeast 102nd Avenue, a few blocks south of the vehicle.  The man, a pedestrian, was bleeding from the head and was transported by paramedics to an area hospital with non life-threatening injuries.
