On Monday, June 13, at 9:20 p.m., Multnomah County sheriff’s deputies responded to a report of a crash involving a midsize SUV and motorcycle on NE Fairview Parkway near the entrance of the onramp to I-84 westbound.

The initial investigation shows the motorcyclist was traveling northbound on NE Fairview Parkway when it collided with the SUV as it was making a left turn to the I-84 westbound on ramp.
