Annie Arnold, injured when she was struck by a car on Halloween, was discharged from Legacy Emanuel Medical Center on Tuesday. The 32-year-old Vancouver resident is the mother of 7-year-old Cadence Boyer, who died Sunday after spending two days on life support.
A public candlelight vigil is being held for the girl at 8 p.m. Friday at the scene of the crash. Kenny Boyer, the girl’s uncle, said that the family has obtained permits to close one northbound lane of 112th Avenue for the event, and they hired a flagging company to help with traffic control.
Arnold and Cadence Boyer were trick-or-treating with Chelina Alsteen, 30, and a 6-year-old girl when a Ford Mustang drove onto the sidewalk along Northeast 112th Avenue and struck the group.
The 6-year-old girl, whose parents have asked that her name not be released, was reported in good condition Thursday at Randall Children’s Hospital at Legacy Emanuel in Portland. Alsteen remained in critical condition Thursday at PeaceHealth Southwest Medical Center.
