Oregon State Police said a 23-year-old boy was hit by a driver after getting out of his wrecked car.
Alexander Lee of St. Helens, Oregon, on Thursday, Feb. 17, crashed near Interstate 84 around 2 a.m., Oregon police said.
According to police, he was driving off the interstate on his Mazda RX8, but did not leave. He found himself in a bush about 100 feet from the interstate district of Multnomah.
Lee started walking east of his wrecked car. He was then beaten by a passing driver, police said.
According to Oregon police, the driver left the scene. Now the authorities are looking for a driver.
