So You Had a Bad Day?

A man riding in an Isuzu Rodeo gets hit by a bus. The crash ejects the man from the Rodeo, and he flies through the air and smacks into a minivan, where he is then pinned between the Rodeo and the minivan. The man collapses in pain on the street. His life is literally at stake without the immediate help of trained medical professionals, or a good Samaritan.

A 66 year old man, Marvin Lewis, witnessed the whole awful ordeal and rushes immediately to the victim’s side. Lewis bends down over the traumatized motorist. And steals his wallet.

What is wrong with people in Portland, Oregon?

From KATU TV here:

Initial witness statements indicate that an Isuzu Rodeo, traveling northbound on Southeast 12th Avenue, collided with a TriMet bus traveling westbound on East Burnside Street.

The collision forced the Isuzu into a Ford Focus and Chrysler minivan that were stopped at a red light facing southbound on Southeast 12th Avenue.

During the collision, a 36-year-old male was ejected from the Isuzu. He then sustained life-threatening injuries when he struck the minivan after being ejected from the Isuzu.

After the person ejected from the Isuzu collapsed on the ground, 66-year-old Marvin Lewis, who was walking nearby at the time of the collision, took the victim’s wallet from his pocket.

Arriving officers arrested Lewis and recovered the wallet. Lewis was arrested on one count of Theft in the Second Degree and transported to the Justice Center jail.

You can see a video here. This happened very early in the morning. Any bets that the thief was a homeless man?
