PORTLAND, Ore. — The Portland Police Bureau (PPB) is investigating a motorcycle crash on June 13 that resulted in the death of two people.
At 8:04 p.m., officers responded to a crash at Southeast Water Avenue and Southeast Morrison Street. When they arrived, they found two people dead at the scene, as well as a crashed motorcycle on the ramp from eastbound Morrison Bridge to northbound Interstate 5, according to PPB.
"Preliminary investigation suggests the rider and a passenger crashed and were thrown over the barrier onto a parking lot below," PPB said in a statement.
The two people have been identified as Nicholas James Munt-Herrera, 30, and Angelica Precious Camacho, 24.
No other vehicles were believed to be involved.
The Portland Police Traffic Division Major Crash Team responded, and during the investigation, the ramp from eastbound Morrison Bridge to northbound Interstate 5 was closed. Southeast Water Avenue was also closed between Southeast Yamhill Street and Southeast Alder Street.
The Morrison Bridge opened in both directions, along with the ramp from the westbound Morrison Bridge onto the northbound Interstate 5. The ramp from the southbound Interstate 5 onto the Morrision Bridge into downtown Portland also opened.
