PORTLAND, Ore. The Portland Police Bureau identified an officer hit by a stolen truck Christmas Eve as Officer Jennifer Pierce. She is a 15-year police veteran who works patrol out of Central Precinct. Pierce suffered a fractured pelvis and remains hospitalized, police said in a statement Saturday.
PPB responded to reports of a stolen pickup truck at a gas station just before 9 p.m. Thursday. When police units attempted to box in the stolen truck, the 1988 Chevrolet pickup rammed into Pierce, who was standing outside of her patrol car, pinning her between the two vehicles, according to the pickup truck’s owner.
