Portland Mayor Sam Adams involved in crash with bicyclist one block from City Hall
Portland Mayor Sam Adams crashed with a bicyclist this afternoon when he was driving a city-owned Prius one block from City Hall.
The bicyclist, Tasia Bernie, said the mayor "came to a really quick stop" at the intersection of Southwest Fourth Avenue and Columbia Street. The mayor was making a left turn but stopped to avoid a pedestrian, Bernie says. She then crashed into the back of his Prius and fell to the pavement.
Adams immediately got out of the car and introduced himself to the bicyclist as the mayor. He also gave her his card. There were several witnesses, including a large group of schoolchildren who appeared to be on a field trip.
Bernie said she scraped her knuckles but was not seriously injured.
