Portland’s Motorcycle Fatality Crisis | Portland News
Description
Portland’s motorcycle fatalities are skyrocketing, with two deaths in just one day — both victims aged 32 — sparking alarm as 11 of 25 traffic deaths in 2026 involved motorcyclists, more than double last year’s rate. Police blame unsafe riding habits like speeding, lane splitting, and DUIs, noting bikes’ lack of protection makes crashes far deadlier. Nationally, riders face a staggering 27x higher fatality risk — a grim reality urging riders to slow down, wear gear, and stay sober.
