An almost identical accident happened June 17th 1991 at the intersection of SW 5th and Clay street. JULIE ANNE NEHER was crossing Clay Street when a TriMet bus turned right from 5th to Clay. The side of the bus knocked her down, and the rear wheels went over her, and dragged her about fifteen feet as well. In the confusion, the driver backed up, and ran over her again. Julie was conscience throughout all of this, and stayed alive for another two hours before finally dying in emergency surgery at OHSU. I know all of this because Julie and I were dating at the time, and I arrived at the scene less than five minutes after it happened. It was the worst day of my life. It's worth pointing out that though TriMet settled quietly out of court with the family, and the driver was never cited for this horrific accident, and went back to driving for TriMet shortly afterwords.
