Accident victim, Christopher Burris w c Bu f«*AQYS AR “Simply the Best fo r Less ■U IL M M O INOUSTRV ASOOCIATIOM CSCC8 »156436 WACCB«*OOW9&IK1 2511 N. Hayden Island Drive • Next to Jantzen Beach Supercenter 21-year-old Christopher Burris died instantly after being hit by a suspected drunk driver while riding his bike down Martin Luther King Jr. B o u lev ard n ear N o rth east W ygant Street around 2 a.m. on Sept. 3. A white “ghost bike” bike now lays mangled on the sidewalk near the scene of the collision to memo rialize Burris, letting passersby know that he was loved by family and friends. “Chris was a phenomenal per son. He was so intelligent, so pro gressive,” saidChakra, Burris’girl friend. “He always thought of other people before himself.” Chakra was riding together with Burris at the time o f the collision. Her 4-year-old daughter was in a small trailer attached to her bike. Riding close to the curb, she recalled that Burristold her calmly to move over onto the sidew alk. Seconds later, a speeding car hit Burris with such im pact that he (lew off his bike into the middle of the street. The driver, 4 1 -year- old A n th o ny T roy S au n d ers, sped off. Traffic investigators arrested Saunders a day later. He has been charged with manslaughter in the second degree and one count of felony hit and run. This makes four bike-related deaths in Portland this year alone. This incident isjust one reminder to drivers and bicyclists to play it safe on the streets. “W e’re not invincible-w e’re on a bike. If you hit us, w e’re going to go flying,” Chakra said. For more information on bike and driver safety or to find marked bike routes around the city, visit www.bikeportland.org.
