Motorcyclist ID’d after fatal weekend crash in NE Portland
PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) -- Police have identified the victim after a NE Portland motorcycle crash on Sunday evening. On Wednesday, officials said that Ethan Krebs, 24, died after crashing on the Northeast 33rd Avenue overpass to Northeast Columbia Boulevard. At the time of the crash, officials said that when they responded they found Krebs unresponsive and he was declared dead at the scene. Portland police have been urging motorcycle safety after several recent fatal crashes. “What we’re seeing in both our enforcement efforts and fatal crash investigations is that some motorcyclists are making unsafe choices,” said Sergeant Betsy Hornstein. “We continue to see motorcyclists speeding, making sudden or unpredictable movements, lane splitting, and driving while impaired. While drivers of motor vehicles also engage in some of these behaviors, the consequences are often far more severe for motorcyclists. Motorcycles are smaller, less visible to other road users, and offer none of the protection of an enclosed vehicle.”
