Oregon Congresswoman: Rep. Suzanne Bonamici, D-Ore., and her husband were crossing a roadway in Portland when a car struck them, leaving the Congresswoman with a concussion. Natalie Croft, the head of Bonamici’s communications, posted about the event on social media on Saturday. U.S. District Judge Mark Simon is her husband.
Croft posted on Twitter, “The incident happened while they were leaving an event in Portland.” “She received treatment for a head laceration and concussion. He received minor injury care. She was given her hospital discharge so she could heal at home.”
The Congresswoman is anticipated to recover fully, but while she recovers, she won’t be able to attend today’s town hall meetings in Clatsop and Tillamook Counties or other public engagements.
At 8:44 p.m. PST, Bonamici and Simon were knocked to the ground by a lady who made a low-speed turn in front of them, according to Portland Police spokesman Kevin Allen.
