PPB is releasing video from our Air Support Unit that captured this crash. Patrol vehicles were not attempting to make a traffic stop at the time of the crash and no injuries were sustained. All four occupants of the vehicle were accounted for that night. The vehicle was estimated to be going well over 90 mph when it crashed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0PIEH0GZ78E&feature=youtu.be ###PPB### ###ORIGINAL MESSAGE BELOW### Extra resources from North Precinct, Traffic Division, Air Support Unit and other local law enforcement agencies patrolled North and Northeast Portland. Last night's directed patrol on May 10, 2020 resulted in 28 traffic stops, 16 traffic citations, 1 towed vehicle and 1 arrest. Officers did experience a considerable reduction in the amount of participators and spectators relating to this type of activity. Individual arrested: - Female juvenile, (17 years old), 1 count of reckless driving, 1 count of criminal mischief in the second degree, 3 counts of reckless endangering and 1 count of hit and run. These charges were the result of the pictured crash in the 6100 block of North Marine Drive where no injuries were sustained. These irresponsible driving practices can have a deadly outcome. The Portland Police Bureau will continue its efforts in educating community members about the dangers of speed racing. This education will be conducted on our social media platforms and through one-on-one conversations with participants. But enforcement action will also continue against individuals who are suspected of committing crimes. The investigatory arm of this enforcement effort will be following up with the Multnomah County District Attorney's Office after identifying suspects from previous incidents. Our Traffic Division is also committed to providing enforcement and raising awareness regarding traffic safety for vehicles, bicyclists and pedestrians. Each year, traffic officers respond to preventable collisions. These collisions can deeply impact those involved, their families and loved ones. Traffic officers' number one priority is to address behaviors of all road users that might lead to a collision, including speed, impairment, distraction, and disobeying signals. The Portland Police Bureau works closely with our partners in government and the community to create safer streets and work toward reducing, and eventually eliminating, traffic fatalities as part of Vision Zero.
