Case # 19-009940 Vehicle vs. Pedestrian Crash
Date: 12/13/2019
On 12/13/2019 at 11:22 am, Milwaukie Police responded to a vehicle vs. pedestrian crash at the three way intersection of SE 21st Avenue, SE Main Street and SE lake Road. When police arrived on scene they discovered 82-year-old Donna Lundy, on the ground, in front of a blue Ford minivan.
Medics treated some minor injuries to Mrs. Lundy’s hand and applied a neck brace for precautionary measures prior to AMR transporting her to a local hospital for further evaluation. Mrs. Lundy’s injuries did not appear to be life threatening.
Mrs. Lundy told officers she was crossing SE Main Street, in the crosswalk, towards SE Lake Road. Mrs. Lundy explained she was halfway through the crosswalk when she saw the blue van out of the corner of her eye and tried to get out of the way before being struck.
The driver of the Ford minivan, 84-year-old Genevieve Court, remained on scene and cooperated with the investigation. Mrs. Court told police she was driving on SE main Street and stopped at the stop sign at SE 21st Avenue. Mrs. Court explained her intentions were to continue east onto SE Lake Road. Mrs. Court told police she looked left for approaching traffic, saw none, and began rolling forward into the crosswalk to drive onto SE Lake Road. Mrs. Court said she did not see Mrs. Lundy.
Mrs. Court received a citation for Failure to Stop and Remain Stopped for a Pedestrian/ORS-811.028 and Failure to Carry Proof of Insurance/ORS-806.012.
