A rollover accident at the eastern end of the Hawthorne Bridge left the driver hospitalized and a bystander injured from falling debris.

Portland Fire & Rescue responded at 12:48 p.m. Saturday to a report of a rollover at the corner of Southeast Madison Street and Southeast Water Avenue.

They found a female driver in her mid-30s attempting to escape from the car, which had broken through a guardrail from the Hawthorne Bridge on-ramp, then traveled about 50 feet before crashing into a building and landing on its side.

Fire crews were able to remove the woman from the car. She had no obvious injuries, but was taken to OHSU Hospital's trauma unit. Another woman in her mid-30s was also taken to Portland hospital after being hit by debris while she walked on the sidewalk below the bridge.

Police are on the scene and investigating the crash.
