Via the Daily Astorian. A Portland man is accused of deliberately hitting a bicycle rider with his truck on U.S. Highway 101 just south of Seaside last November is in Clatsop County Jail.
Stephan Joseph Fox, 23, was arraigned Thursday in Clatsop County Circuit Court on charges of attempted murder, first-degree assault and felony hit and run in connection with the incident, which severely injured Seaside chiropractor Seth A. Goldstein.
Judge Philip Nelson set bail for Fox at $250,000.
Chief Deputy District Attorney Ron Brown said Goldstein, 48, has been receiving physical therapy since the crash. He uses canes to walk and is likely to continue to need physical therapy for the rest of his life, Brown said
Goldstein had routinely commuted several miles to and from his Seaside office by bicycle, according to Brown. On Nov. 18, Goldstein was riding his bike on the west side of Highway 101, well off the roadway, Brown said, when he was “struck and nearly killed” by Fox’s 1990 blue Ford Ranger pickup truck.
