Portland, OR (March 3, 2022) – A pedestrian accident reported in Columbia County has taken one man’s life on Tuesday, March 1. Just after 9:40 p.m., the Oregon State Police received the request for assistance at the scene of a major pedestrian accident on Highway 30.

Reports from OSP indicate that 29-year-old Rachel Honl was driving a Chevrolet Tahoe west on Highway 30 during the evening hours. For unknown reasons, her vehicle struck a pedestrian, who was identified as 66-year-old Michael Bisogni.

Bisogni suffered severe injuries in the accident. Emergency crews arrived on-site to treat the man. However, he was pronounced deceased at the scene.

Honl was not injured in the accident. However, she remained on-site and cooperated with law enforcement.

At this time, the incident remains under investigation.

We would like to extend our warmest condolences to the family of Michael Bisogni. Our thoughts are with them at this time.

Fatal Pedestrian Accidents in Oregon

Each year, motor vehicle accidents have a life-altering impact on people across our state. Regrettably, no one is out of harm’s way when it comes to the possibility of being injured. In fact, people who travel outside of vehicles are even at risk. Pedestrian accidents are often catastrophic due to the fact that these people are not protected from outside forces.

Over 20 people end up losing their lives in crashes in Portland alone. Although we like to think that the enactment of safety measures throughout our state is helping, we continue to see families forced to deal with the consequences of tragic collisions.

Although there is nothing that can be done to bring back those taken away unexpectedly due to traffic-related incidents, families may have legal options available to help them move forward after suffering the loss of a loved one due to another person’s actions. By contacting a wrongful death attorney in Portland, families may be able to collect compensation to help cover the financial burdens they face.
