Reports from authorities show that a man and a juvenile male were waiting at the bus stop on Highway 101 near mile marker 137 during the morning hours. For unknown reasons, a Lincoln County Transit bus passed through the area and struck both of the pedestrians.

The two victims were injured. Both victims were transported to Samaritan Pacific Communities Hospital in Newport. Both of the injured victims were then airlifted to a Portland-area hospital for care.

Pedestrian Accidents in Oregon

Auto collisions across the state of Oregon are taking place more often. Each year, we see thousands of people hospitalized each year with broken bones, spinal cord injuries, internal organ damages, and other life-threatening injuries that demand immediate medical care. In some instances, people have to remain hospitalized for several days or even weeks as they undergo treatment for their injuries.

Quite often, accident victims are left with injuries that cause overwhelming pain and suffering. In many instances, victims require hospitalization and have to take several weeks or even months off work to recover. The immediate and long-term consequences leave victims to deal with an array of negative consequences. Regrettably, families of those harmed are often forced to bear the impact of a crash as well.

Not only are victims forced to endure the consequences of these accidents, but their families often face mental and financial challenges as well. When victims are harmed in crashes due to the actions of others, it is crucial that they seek legal guidance as soon as possible. Victims may have legal options to help them secure the compensation they need to move forward.
