Bike accident @ OHSU

Brewcaster, one of our former writers, alerted me to bike/car bike accident at OHSU about 1/2 hr ago.  I looked around the internets, but am unable to find anymore information.  Brewcaster is on the scene and reports serious injuries and police involvement.  Thanks Brewcaster.  We’ll keep you posted.

Updated 10:49: Brewcaster left comments that it was a bike accident only.  Hope the rider is ok.

    Just spoke to police. No car involved. Cyclist crashed on their own going to fast on a slick street.

    I heard the man scream and saw him lose control - swerving back and forth - and then he fell onto the street - and did not move. Many people came over to him and were calling 911 so I decided to keep moving. I had thought that a car was involved until I found this post. *** I’ve been haunted by the vision of the accident and found out that the man got admitted to the ICU at OHSU. So I called and couldn’t get any specific information but I got a hint from a staff person that he will be ok. He must have been going too fast down the hill and the pavement was wet.
