A person was killed today after being involved in a traffic collision.
Details are still coming in, but so far we know that the deceased was a male in his 20s and the other party in the collision was a person driving a Dodge Dakota pickup. The incident happened just before 4:00 pm today on SE Center a few blocks east of 141st Avenue (map).
Center is a low-volume neighborhood street with speed bumps and it’s a popular east-west bicycle route in the area.
According to the Portland Police, the driver of the motor vehicle has been detained and their Major Crash Team is still on the scene conducting an investigation.
This is the first bicycle fatality of 2016. There were two fatal bicycle crashes all of last year.
We’ll update this story as we know more.
