U.S. Marine injured in hit-and-run crash

MILWAUKIE, Ore. -
A U.S. Marine home on leave was injured in a hit-and-run crash Friday night.

Thai Huu Lam, 19, was walking on Southeast Oatfield Street when a truck hit him from behind, throwing Lam 30 feet. The driver left the scene without stopping.

Despite hitting his head on a tree, Lam is doing fine, said his cousin Kimberly Dang.

"He's talking. He remembers stuff," said Dang. "He's doing good. He's sore."

Dang said Lam has a fractured eye socket and cuts and scratches on his face, but that he is conscious and eager to be released from Oregon Health and Science University.
