BEND, Ore.{KTVZ} — A 26-year-old Bend man remains in critical condition after being struck by a vehicle Friday night on Northeast Third Street, according to Bend Police.
The crash happened around 8:16 p.m. on October 17 between Thurston and Underwood Avenues.
Officers responding to the scene found a white Toyota RAV4 stopped in the northbound lanes and a man with severe injuries in the roadway. Police say officers immediately performed lifesaving care until Bend Fire medics arrived and took over.
The victim was transported to St. Charles Medical Center, where he remains in critical condition.
The driver, a 61-year-old man from Idaho, told police he was traveling north on NE Third Street when he struck a man who was crossing the road with a bike. Police say the driver called 911, remained at the scene, and fully cooperated with investigators.
Third Street was closed in both directions between Revere and Underwood avenues for about two and a half hours while Bend Police’s traffic reconstruction team investigated.
As of Saturday, no citations had been issued, and the investigation remains ongoing.
