Damn... he took off?
I can’t believe the driver drove off! 😨
Hit n run. I hope they nail the truck driver.
Truck guy did it on purpose
This is sickening. You can see the driver accelerate to try to merge between the cars on their right, then give up and crash into the cyclist. And then leaving the scene!
WTAF!! Infuriating!!! 🤬
Honestly even more sickening is that, if the driver stayed (and wasn't high), there would probably not be any criminal charges or real repercussions.
The individuals in the comments trying to shift blame to the people on bicycles is almost as disturbing as the video itself.
Sickening...
Awful. Hope they catch the truck driver.
I am not condoning what the truck driver did, but why are these two bicyclists in the middle of the road? This stretch of road has a bike lane, which is the only acceptable place for these bikes to be riding.
It looks like they’re riding on the Morrison bridge headed toward downtown, I don’t think there’s a bike lane there. That’s also right after the I-5 off-ramp merges from the right, so my guess is they started from SE Morrison St and were staying left to avoid the merging traffic
No, bikes have a right to the lane as well, stop defending people who try to murder cyclists by lying about the law. Ps you’re morally a rotten person and should keep your evil thoughts to yourself from now on.
You’re wrong. ORS 814.430
I’m not wrong, you just have a personality disorder, and you don’t read well
Well, ok. Go ahead and double down on the wrong.
This isn’t the place to leave notes to yourself, crazy lady
This is Morrison, not Hawthorne. Why aren't you asking why the driver of a 6,000 lb (3 tons) truck doing more than the speed limit?
There are no bike lanes on the Morrison Bridge. There is a shared path on the south side that is only accessible from the East Bank Esplanade.
That shared path is the only acceptable portion of this bridge for bikes. See ORS 814.430 for clarification how these two bike riders were in violation of Oregon traffic laws.
Please put a warning on this.
The warning is "this video of the collision".
PDX FIND THIS TRUCK DRIVER! Black/missing gas cap is a giveaway.
