Portland police are investigating a hit-and-run crash that left a pedestrian seriously injured in the Powellhurst-Gilbert neighborhood on Monday night, February 9, 2026.
According to the Portland Police Bureau, officers from East Precinct were called at 10:28 p.m. to Southeast 122nd Avenue and Southeast Woodward Place. When they arrived, they found the pedestrian seriously injured. Paramedics took the person to an area hospital. Police said the driver fled the scene.
Traffic officers were handling the investigation, and Southeast 122nd Avenue was closed in both directions between Southeast Clinton Street and Southeast Woodward Place during that work. Police asked anyone with information who had not already spoken with officers to email crimetips@police.portlandoregon.gov (opens in a new tab) and reference case number 26-40057.
A hit-and-run crash can leave an injured pedestrian and family members with urgent questions about medical care, insurance, and whether key evidence will be preserved. In Oregon, those issues often turn on the crash report, scene photos, witness statements, and prompt medical records. A Pedestrian Accident Injury page can help explain the practical steps people often take after being struck while walking.
Police said the bureau public information officer was not responding to the scene, and that more information would be released when appropriate.
