Accident – Death – Obituary News :
A 60-year-old driver from Beaverton is currently facing assault charges after allegedly chasing and crashing into a motorcyclist on Highway 26 in Portland, Oregon. The incident took place on Wednesday and has left the motorcyclist seriously injured.
The crash occurred just after 3 p.m. on Wednesday on eastbound Highway 26 at the Southwest Sylvan Road overpass. Portland police responded to the scene and found a 2006 Subaru Legacy Outback overturned near a 2016 Yamaha motorcycle that had crashed.
The motorcyclist, identified as 47-year-old Tha Ouk from Vancouver, sustained serious injuries and was transported to the hospital by ambulance. Fortunately, he is expected to recover from his injuries. The driver of the Subaru, identified as David J. Bumgardner, did not report any injuries.
Following an initial investigation, the Portland Police Bureau revealed that the incident began when Ouk was allegedly riding between lanes, which is considered illegal in Oregon.
High-Speed Chase Leads to Collision
According to the Portland Police Bureau, as Ouk’s motorcycle approached Bumgardner’s Subaru, the 60-year-old driver believed that Ouk had collided with his car and proceeded to chase after him at high speed.
Bumgardner then reportedly pulled onto the shoulder and continued to pursue Ouk. When Ouk slowed down for a traffic control sign on the shoulder, Bumgardner was unable to stop in time, resulting in a collision between the two vehicles. The impact caused Bumgardner’s car to roll on top of Ouk’s body.
Fortunately, passing drivers stopped to assist and managed to lift the car to free Ouk from underneath.
Legal Consequences
Following the incident, Bumgardner was taken into custody and booked into the Multnomah County Detention Center. He is now facing charges of second and third-degree assault, reckless driving, and recklessly endangering another person.
On the other hand, Ouk was cited for driving uninsured, careless driving, failure to drive within a lane, driving without a motorcycle endorsement, and failing to register a motor vehicle.
The investigation into the crash is ongoing, and authorities are urging all road users to adhere to traffic laws and regulations to prevent such incidents from reoccurring.
