Summary
Motorcycle Crash Portland Oregon in Portland, Oregon: A 60‑year‑old man named Jason Doherty died after a motorcycle crash on Interstate 5 in southwest Portland on Friday evening, shortly before 6:30 p.m. Doherty was riding a 2002 Harley Davidson with a sidecar southbound when, after taking a left turn off the Marquam Bridge, his bike suddenly swerved out of the traffic lane and struck a concrete barrier. Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue crews attempted lifesaving care but could not revive him.
