According to Tigard police, just before 9 p.m., officers responded to Southwest Hall Boulevard near Southwest Pfaffle Street where they found a 45-year-old woman in the road with critical injuries.
Officers at the scene said they spoke with the woman’s boyfriend who told them that they had been driving on Hall Boulevard when he pulled into the center lane and got out to get an item that had been thrown out of the car.
