The city of Portland is very sad after a tragic hit-and-run accident. On Friday afternoon, December 12, a man was struck and killed by a car on Northeast Prescott Street.
The terrible crash happened around 3 p.m. Paramedics rushed to help him, but sadly, he passed away at the scene. The driver did not stop to help and drove away.
Neighbors are very upset and worried because this road is usually busy with people walking. Police closed the street for hours to look for clues like tire marks and security video.
The police still need to find the driver. They are asking anyone who saw a speeding car to please speak up. Even a small detail could help bring answers to his heartbroken family.
