PORTLAND, Ore. -- A woman has died after being hit by a MAX light-rail train in downtown Portland Friday night.
The woman's cane made contact with the approaching train and she fell between two cars, TriMet's Mary Fetsch said Saturday.
Emergency crews were called to the area of NW 6th Avenue and Davis Street, in Old Town, at around 9:30 p.m. They found the woman conscious but trapped by the train.
She was taken to a Portland hospital, where she died Saturday morning.
Busses shuttled passengers to their destinations before MAX service resumed about 45 minutes later.
