Portland Police Investigating String of Bizarre Traffic Accidents

Portland Police Investigating String of Bizarre Traffic AccidentsPortland Police Investigating String of Bizarre Traffic Accidents Portland, Oregon – The Portland Police Bureau is investigating a series of unusual and alarming traffic accidents that have plagued the city in recent weeks. The incidents involve vehicles swerving off the road, crashing into parked cars, and even running red lights at high speeds. Several accidents have resulted in minor injuries, but no fatalities have been reported. “These accidents are not your typical fender benders,” said Sgt. Kevin Allen of the Portland Police Bureau. “There’s something very strange going on.” One of the most bizarre incidents occurred last Tuesday when a car was seen driving erratically down SW Broadway. The vehicle swerved into oncoming traffic, narrowly missing several other cars before crashing into a light pole. “It was like something out of a movie,” said witness Melissa Johnson. “The car spun around and came to a stop in the middle of the road. The driver just sat there, staring straight ahead.” Police officers who responded to the scene found the driver unresponsive. He was transported to a local hospital, where he remains in a coma. Another strange accident occurred on Friday night when a pickup truck drove over a median on NW 23rd Avenue and landed in a ditch. The driver, who was intoxicated, told police he had no recollection of how he ended up in the ditch. “We’re not sure if these accidents are related, but they’re definitely unsettling,” said Sgt. Allen. “We’re asking the public to be vigilant and report any suspicious driving behavior they see.” Police are currently investigating the cause of the accidents and exploring possible explanations, including mechanical failures, medical emergencies, and drug or alcohol impairment. “We won’t rest until we find out what’s causing these dangerous incidents,” said Police Chief Chuck Lovell. “The safety of our citizens is our top priority.” Anyone with information about the string of traffic accidents is urged to contact the Portland Police Bureau.
