Woman has life-threatening injuries after collision on SE 82nd Ave

Looking southbound on 82nd just before SE Henderson (on the right).

The Portland Police Bureau’s Major Crash Team responded to a serious collision involving a bicycle rider today just after 11:00 am.

It happened at the intersection of SE 82nd and Henderson, just a few blocks north of Flavel. The police say someone driving a car southbound on 82nd and a woman bicycling eastbound on Henderson collided with each other. The bicycle rider is being treated for what police refer to as,
“serious life-threatening injuries.”

Police are conducting a full investigation. Here’s a snip from their official statement:

The investigation is in its early stages and at this time officers believe the driver of a Honda Pilot drove south on Southeast 82nd Avenue as the bicyclist traveled east on Southeast Henderson Street. The bicyclist and Honda collided at the intersection of Southeast 82nd Avenue and Southeast Henderson Street. The driver of the Honda remained at the scene and is cooperating with investigators. There have been no citations issued or arrests made at this time.

This is a “T” intersection. Henderson does not continue eastbound across 82nd, except for a commercial driveway.

We’ll share updates as they come in. If anyone has information about what happened please get in touch.

If you want to help make 82nd better, the 82nd Avenue Improvement Coalition is hosting an event this Wednesday (10/17) where they’ll share their vision and moderate a panel discussion.
