Dog Dragged By Vehicle, Expected To Be Okay.

DOG DRAGGED BY VEHICLE, EXPECTED TO BE OKAY.


News Release from Milwaukie Police Dept.
Posted on FlashAlert: November 10th, 2017 9:34 PM
Case #17-4273.

On 11-10-17, at about 4:15 p.m., the Milwaukie Police were called to the intersection of SE Main Street and SE Washington Street in regards to an unknown-type vehicle accident.

Police arrived and learned a 79-year-old female was walking with her dog, east on SE Washington Street. The female was in a clearly marked crosswalk at the time and her dog (a Chihuahua/Yorkie mix) was on a retractable leash, walking just behind her.

A vehicle, also traveling east on SE Washington Street, stopped at a stop sign, then turned south on Main Street. As the vehicle turned, the vehicle's front bumper caught the leash, knocking the elderly woman down and dragging the dog about 100 feet. The dog sustained a few scrapes and cuts on its paws as well as a bruised liver, but is expected to fully recover. The pedestrian was not injured.

The vehicle stopped and the driver remained at the scene and cooperated with the investigation. The driver was cited for failure to stop for a pedestrian.

The Milwaukie Police would like to remind everyone that a crosswalk exists at any public street intersection whether marked with paint or unmarked. Crosswalks can also exist mid-block if they are marked with white painted lines.

Under Oregon Law, a pedestrian is occupying a crosswalk when any part or extension of the pedestrian, including but not limited to any part of the pedestrian's body, wheelchair, cane, crutch or bicycle, moves into the roadway in a crosswalk with the intent to proceed. A driver has specific duties to a pedestrian in a crosswalk.

When turning at a traffic signal, drivers must:
* Stop and remain stopped for pedestrians until they have cleared the lane in which your vehicle is turning and at least 6 feet of the next lane.

At any other crosswalks - whether marked with paint or unmarked - drivers must:
* Stop and remain stopped for pedestrians until they have cleared the lane in which you are traveling (or into which you are turning) and the next lane.
* Stop and remain stopped for students as you are directed by a crossing guard.
* Stop and remain stopped for a blind pedestrian using a white cane or a guide dog until the pedestrian is completely across the roadway.

If a pedestrian is in a safety buffer when the vehicle enters the crosswalk, the driver may be cited for a fine over $200.00.

Oregon laws affect pedestrians too. Pedestrians are required to obey traffic signals and walk safely, however, pedestrians are unprotected and vulnerable. You, as the driver can prevent terrible injury by being prepared to stop and yield no matter who has the right of way. Saving a life is worth your time.

Portland Fire & Rescue Responds to Residential Fire on NE 99th Ave

PORTLAND FIRE & RESCUE RESPONDS TO RESIDENTIAL FIRE ON NE 99TH AVE


News Release from Portland Fire & Rescue
Posted on FlashAlert: November 10th, 2017 11:42 AM
Around 10:57 AM, Portland Fire & Rescue was dispatched on a report of a residential structure fire at 224 NE 99th Ave.

Upon arrival, crews reported heavy fire issuing from the roof of the home. Firefighters made an aggressive interior attack while other crews simultaneously searched for potential victims.

The structure was boarded up, increasing the incident commander's suspicion that there could be transients inside. An ambulance was requested as a precaution. A primary search of the entire structure yielded no victims.

Vacant structures pose a unique set of hazards to firefighting efforts. They can either be full of clutter, increasing fuel load and decreasing mobility. Or, they are empty and can be allowed to burn unchecked for quite a while before being noticed. In this particular fire, crews took additional precautions due to both the heavy fire, and also the hypodermic needles strewn about the floor which could injure firefighters who are searching on their hands and knees.

A fire investigator is on scene working to determine fire cause and damage estimates. Updates will be posted as they become available.
