On Monday, October 15, 2018, at 11:09 a.m., East Precinct and Traffic Division officers responded to the report of a crash in the 7300 block of Southeast 82nd Avenue.

When officers and emergency medical personnel arrived on scene they located an adult female lying on the ground. The injured woman was provided emergency medical aid and transported by ambulance to an area hospital for treatment of what were believed to be serious life-threatening injuries.

Based on the severity of the woman's injuries, the Portland Police Bureau Traffic Division's Major Crash Team has responded to assume the investigation. Criminalists with the Forensic Evidence Division are also responding to assist with the investigation.

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.

During this investigation Southeast 82nd Avenue will be closed between Southeast Henderson Street and Southeast Flavel Street.
