BEAVERTON, Ore. (KOIN) – A motorcyclist was seriously hurt early Monday morning when the driver of a blue Kia appears to have intentionally swerved into him – a crash caught on the dashcam of another motorist.

The hit-run happened around 6:15 a.m. on Hwy 26 in Beaverton, Oregon. The Kia driver then sped off down the highway in actions the Beaverton police believe were intentional.

The motorcyclist, a young man in his 20s, slid 250 feet on his stomach, his clothing shredded by the road, said his mother, Patsy. The gear shifter pierced his steel-toe boot and his helmet split from the impact of the crash.

“There’s no steel toe left,” said Patsy, who asked Nexstar’s KOIN to not use her last name. “There is a crack through it but the helmet saved his life.”

But the video only tells part of the story. Patsy said before the motorcycle and Kia come into the view of the dashcam, the driver tried to run her son off the road several times as he rode to work. Her son flipped off the Kia driver immediately before being slammed into and run off the road.

“The fact that somebody deliberately turned into my son and rammed him off the road is what makes me sick to my stomach,” Patsy told affiliate KOIN. “His actions could’ve killed my son.”

As the driver sped away, passersby rushed in. One woman even held her son’s head until help arrived, and for that Patsy is forever thankful.

“Super grateful for her staying with him until the ambulance got there because the (Kia) driver just drove off,” she said.

The driver, with only a vague description of being a white adult man between 30-40 with a black beard, remains at large.

“I’m asking him to do the right thing and turn yourself in,” Patsy said. “Turn yourself in.”

Her son is back home, bruised, scraped and on crutches. He faces a 3-month recovery, Patsy said. She is glad he’s home but very aware of how different it could have been.

“His actions could’ve taken my son’s life today,” she said. “And we’d be doing a completely different interview.”
