Portland, OR – Collin Page Loses Life in Motorcycle Crash on SE 97th Ave

Portland, OR (October 25, 2021) – One man has lost his life following a motor vehicle accident in the Portland area, according to reports. At around 12:30 p.m., on October 23, the Portland Police were requested on-site at a crash on Southeast 97th Avenue.

Reports from authorities show that 18-year-old Collin Page was riding a motorcycle on Southeast 97th Avenue. For unknown reasons, a 75-year-old driver in a 2007 Cadillac was traveling west on Southeast Holgate Boulevard. As the driver attempted to turn at the intersection of Southeast 97th Avenue, their vehicle collided with the motorcycle.

The rider sustained severe injuries in the accident. He was rushed to a local hospital for treatment. However, he passed away from his injuries. At this time, the incident remains under investigation.

We would like to offer our deepest condolences to the family of Collin Page. Our thoughts are with them at this time.

Fatal Motorcycle Accidents in Oregon

Although we want to believe that everyone is able to overcome their injuries, this is not always the case. Regrettably, there are many cases where victims succumb to their injuries. In fact, around 500 people lose their lives each year in traffic-related incidents throughout the state of Oregon. There are many instances where people are using motorcycles at the time of their accidents. These victims are far more vulnerable than those in vehicles because they are not protected by the steel frames of vehicles. Instead, they have little more than helmets to keep them safe.

When motorcyclists lose their lives in accidents, families are often forced to deal with towering financial consequences from the economic and non-economic damages they face. Lost wages, funeral expenses, and even vehicle repairs can be nearly impossible for grieving families to cover. For this reason, surviving relatives have legal options available to help them obtain compensation to cover the costs they face.

When people lose their lives in motorcycle accidents due to the negligence of others, it is essential that their families seek the legal guidance of a wrongful death attorney in Portland as soon as possible. Working with a skilled and knowledgeable legal team is a family’s best bet for recovering.
