###ORIGINAL MESSAGE###

PPB Traffic Division's Major Crash Team has finished its on-scene investigation and streets around Northwest 9th Avenue and Northwest Glisan Street have reopened.

Traffic Investigators now believe suspect vehicle that left the scene was a white pickup truck, and the woman found in the roadway was in the truck before the crash. Preliminary information is that she was in the passenger seat and, for an unknown reason, fell out of passenger side door and was run over by the truck. The truck was last seen northbound on Northwest 9th Avenue.

Investigators are working to identify the victim. She is a white female likely in her 40's.

If anyone witnessed the incident, or has any information about the white truck and its driver, and has not already spoken to police, they're asked to reach out to the investigating officer. Additionally, if anyone has access to surveillance video that might have captured the white truck, please share it with police. The primary investigator is Officer David Enz 503-823-2208 David.Enz@portlandoregon.gov .

This is the 56th Major Crash Team activation and the 48th traffic fatality in the City of Portland this year.
