WOODWORTH STATESMAN JOURNAL A car suspected of running a red light in northeast Salem trig- gered a chain reaction of crashes that left a skate- boarder seriously in- jured Thursday night, of- ficials said. Investigators believe a black Chevrolet turning north on Lancaster Drive NE from Silverton Road NE ran a red light and struck a Chrysler 300 traveling westbound, said Lt. Chris Baldridge, a Marion County Sher- iff’s Office spokesman. The impact of the crash pushed the Chrys- ler into a skateboarder, who was crossing Lan- caster Drive. Baldridge said the skateboarder was taken to Salem Hospital with se- rious injuries but is ex- pected to survive. Further details on the identity of those involved and whether any citations were issued were un- available.
