On Wednesday, April 17, 2019, at approximately 5:01 P.M. Oregon City Police and emergency personnel responded to a pedestrian that was hit by a vehicle on Molalla Ave. at Pearl St.
Our first patrol officer arrived with 30 seconds after being dispatched and located the female pedestrian lying in the roadway. Lifesaving efforts were attempted but tragically, the pedestrian sustained fatal injuries and was pronounced deceased.
Preliminary investigation reveals the driver of a Toyota Truck was turning left from westbound Pearl St. onto southbound Molalla Ave. when the driver struck Josefina Rojas-Bernadino, (51) of Gresham, who was crossing Molalla Ave. in the crosswalk.
The driver of the vehicle was not injured, remained on scene, and is cooperating with the investigation.
Oregon City Police was assisted by Clackamas Fire District #1, AMR, and the Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office. Reference OCPD Case # 19-008824.
