Pedestrian dies after being hit by car in Gresham crash

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — A pedestrian died from his injuries Thursday after being hit by a car in Gresham the day prior, authorities said.

Gresham Police originally responded to the 3800 block of Northeast Hogan Road on a report that a pedestrian had been hit by a vehicle on Wednesday afternoon.

The pedestrian was taken to the hospital for what police believed to be a non-life-threatening injury to his leg.

The pedestrian later died at the hospital from his injuries. His identity has not been released at this time.
