Monday, August 25, 2008 | No comments posted.
PORTLAND (AP) — Family members say a Lincoln High School student hit by a car during the Hood to Coast relay has a broken leg and serious internal injuries but is expected to survive.
The victim, 18-year-old Chelsee Jean Caskey, was struck from behind over the weekend at night while on the shoulder of Highway 30 near Scappoose. Her head hit the windshield and she was carried on the hood of the car until it crashed through a fence.
The driver was identified as 20-year-old Chrystal Marie Meyer, of Rainier.
State troopers say Caskey was running for her school relay team and was wearing a reflective vest and a runner’s headlamp. Race organizers say it is the first accident of its kind in the history of the relay.
