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.
