MAX incident, Sunday 6-22-08 10:00am

Mystery MAX incident

The MAX train was halted Sunday, 6-22-08, about 10:00am just north of Going St on Interstate Ave. There were two ambulances, a fire truck and two Portland Police cars there.

Does anyone know what happened? It must have been something serious. I saw a young couple standing at the curside who appeared to be consoling each other.

Got to laugh at that crazy poster "SmellTheSage" above who posts regularly at Oregolive.com Portland Forum. She obviously escaped from Dammasch many years ago.

the car hit the max, the car took off but came back later with the explanation "i had to get my insurance papers". Officials think that they switched drivers. This comes from somebody that knows! there is no link...

I've also rode the bus when a passenger wouldn't get off and the driver would not call the cops but instead pleaded with the person for 15 min to get off finally after I had to tell him to get off because I did call the police did this idiot get off

I've rode Tri-Met when a fight has happened called the driver on the emergency box to inform him/her and nothing was done. No one called the police, the driver never called, the police never came, this happened on 162 I got off at Rose Quarter nothin

J.T.: The fire truck is behind that passing black car, and the ambulance is to the left of MAX. Also note the train is not at stop, but in the intersection with headlamps off and door open. So something was up, but not sure.

a car thought it had a green light to turn, when it pulled out the max train hit it, no one hurt, the story was on the news.

It doesn't appear to be halted at all. There are no ambulances, no fire truck, and no police cars. What kind of game are you playing?
