The condition of Mike Jan Cooley, the bicyclist struck by a hit-and-run driver June 15 in North Portland, has been downgraded from serious to critical.
Cooley, 59, was initially admitted to Legacy Emanuel Medical Center in critical condition. By Wednesday, his condition was upgraded to serious. But as of Friday morning, he was again listed in critical condition, said hospital spokesperson Amber Shoebridge.
Cooley was riding his bike in the northbound lanes of North Interstate Avenue just north of North Greeley Avenue when he was hit by a vehicle at around 11:30 p.m. last Saturday. The driver did not stop after the collision.
Police are looking for a white Ford F350 Crew Cab pickup, possibly a mid-90s model, with two chrome step-up bars and damage near its right front headlight. A witness described seeing the truck drive eratically before the crash.
