Portland police say a car struck a pedestrian near Lloyd Center early Saturday morning, but witnesses prevented the driver from fleeing the scene.
At 2:36 a.m., police said they were called to a car crash in the 400 block of Northeast Hassalo Street and discovered a male who was critically injured.
Police arrested 47-year-old Portland resident Isaac Q. Ellis and booked him into the Multnomah County Detention Center on charges of dangerous driving, driving under the influence, second-degree assault, and failure to execute driver duties.
The Traffic Division’s Major Crash Team is looking into the collision, which shut down Northeast Grand Avenue for roughly five hours.
Witnesses are urged to contact the Traffic Investigations Unit at [email protected] with reference to case number 25-15311.
