Man dies after being struck while bicycling on SW Multnomah
Police have charged a suspect with DUII and Manslaughter.
4/25: Hello readers and friends. I'm still recovering from a surgery I had on 4/11, so I'm unable to attend events and do typical coverage. See this post for the latest update. I'll work as I can and I'm improving every day! Thanks for all your support 🙏. - Jonathan Maus, BikePortland Publisher and Editor
Police have charged a suspect with DUII and Manslaughter.
If we dismiss traffic crashes like this as simply an “accident” we do an injustice to victims.
This is a wake-up call for Portland.
The first bicycle fatality of 2016.
John Shapley was the fourth person to die while biking and the 441st fatality of 2015.
Why must people who bike study thoroughly before setting out?
The suspect’s family has blamed the road design.
They’ll deliver a petition to the regional manager of ODOT.
Police have detained two suspects.
A traffic citation when someone dies is not easy to swallow.
This is to my knowledge the first fatality on Williams since its 2014 redesign.
The figures come in the wake of last November’s gas price plunge.
