Tigard Woman Seriously Injured
After Being Struck By Vehicle
Fae Maxwell, 85, was struck by a
vehicle as she was crossing a walkway leading to the parking lot at
Safeway located at 15570 SW Pacific Highway. The incident occurred
at about noon on Saturday.
Several witnesses offered assistance and
called police for help.
Reports indicate the driver of the vehicle, 36 year old Lawrence

the roadway near the entrance of the store. It appeared Watson was
moving slowly when the accident occurred and it did not appear he
was operating the vehicle in a careless or reckless manner. No
