Pedestrian struck at Portland intersection dies

PORTLAND, Ore. -

The Major Crash Team responded to the scene and the victim, a 39-year-old male, was taken to the hospital. Police said he later died from his injuries.

Investigators said it appears the victim was intoxicated at the time he was hit and was not in a crosswalk. The driver of the car was contacted by police and they say he claims he did not know he had hit someone.

No charges have been filed in the case, according to a police press release. However, the investigation is continuing.
