The Oregon State Police have arrested the driver of a Jeep Cherokee who struck and injured a bicyclist participating in the Seattle to Portland bike ride this morning.
The incident happened just east of Columbia City on Highway 30.
40 year-old northeast Portland resident Daniel Whittlinger veered over the fog line and rear-ended Gerald Marvin, a 24 year-old from Seattle. Whittlinger allegedly stopped and then fled in his vehicle and was stopped by the St. Helens Police Department about eight miles east of the crash scene.
