Traffic safety remains a major concern in Portland, as highlighted by a tragic scooter and semi-truck collision near the Oregon Convention Center earlier this month. One young rider lost his life, while another was hospitalized with serious injuries. The devastating crash serves as a sobering reminder of how vulnerable scooter and e-bike riders are, especially when sharing the road with large trucks. Defensive driving isn’t just a recommendation; it’s essential for everyone on the road. Truck drivers must maintain safe distances, check blind spots often, and stay extra alert at intersections. Likewise, scooter and e-bike riders should always wear helmets, remain visible, and avoid blind spots near larger vehicles.
At Johnston Personal Injury Law Firm, we fight for victims and families impacted by such accidents, holding negligent drivers accountable and helping clients pursue the compensation they deserve.
