Portland police said they received two phone calls about the man
in a street in an industrial area of north Portland but the man was
killed before they arrived at the scene. A third call said a car had
hit the man, police said in a statement.
"The driver that struck the man remained at the scene and was
cooperative," the statement said. The driver was not impaired by
alcohol or drugs
The Oregon State Medical Examiner will conduct an autopsy, including
