"A naked man doing push-ups in the road was struck and killed by a car in Portland, Ore., on Sunday."

Just guessing but I suspect there were no warning signs alerting motorists to keep an eye out for naked guys doing calisthenics in the middle of the road.

The mans name has not been released.
Police got a call at 4:04 a.m. that a naked man was running through traffic near Columbia and Portsmouth Ave. While they were on their way, they got a call he was doing pushups in traffic.
Then, they got a third call that hed been hit by a car.
When they got to the scene, the man was dead.
Police said the driver who hit the man was cooperative, and hadnt been drinking.
Columbia was closed for several hours during the investigation.
An autopsy and toxicology report will be conducted.
