RIP rider. I went through there about 4 hours earlier. Scary stuff

Anastasia · 06-17-2012, 06:23 PM

Was there a group from here heading through there?

This is a good example of why you should always ride with others, and ride within your limits. There is no cellular coverage out there, and it can literally be hours before police or rescue can get to you.

News Release from: Oregon State Police
UPDATE: FATAL TRAFFIC CRASH - HIGHWAY 224 EAST OF ESTACADA
Posted: June 17th, 2012 9:28 PM

A Gervais-area man died Sunday afternoon when he lost control of his motorcycle and collided with a van along Highway 224 about 25 miles east of Estacada. A second motorcyclist traveling with the victim was also involved in the collision but wasn't injured.

On June 17, 2012 at approximately 1:37 p.m. a 2006 Honda motorcycle operated by ROMAN CHERNISHOV, age 29, from Gervais, was traveling eastbound on Highway 224 with another motorcycle operated by PABIL G. CAM, age 22, from Aurora. As the motorcycles negotiated a right curve, the lead motorcycle operated by CHERNISHOV lost control and traveled across the centerline where it collided into the left front corner of a westbound 2003 Dodge Caravan driven by TUDOR URSU, age 51, from southeast Portland.

The second motorcycle braked hard and slowed enough that as it collided with the downed motorcycle its operator was able to get off safely. Its operator, CAM, was not injured.

CHERNISHOV was pronounced deceased at the scene. He was wearing a helmet.

URSU and his three passengers were not injured.

OSP troopers from Portland and Government Camp offices are continuing the investigation. Speed in the curve may have been a contributing factor for the motorcycle. Trooper Scott McLeod is the lead investigator.

Clackamas County Sheriff's Office, ODOT, and AMR ambulance services assisted at the scene.

Looks like it was two of them.

Man there were some super squiddly dudes in tank tops and jeans at ripplebrook on Saturday talking about how they just did 'a buck fifty' on their brand new literbikes and were looking to do more. I wouldnt be surprised if it was one of them yesterday..

My first reaction as well.

Sad to hear about this.

I think that 25 miles east of Estacada is around that right-hand turn that has a couple campgrounds, a small bridge, and the intersection for forest road 57. It is just east of the Ripplebrook Ranger Station. The corner is a deceptively tight turn, there is usually gravel in the road, and more traffic than other areas.

That's the place that came to mind for me too. Curious to know. It's sad regardless.

There wasn't by chance a couple guys on a 999 & S1000 in that group was there?

Harabec · 06-20-2012, 04:54 PM

Was there a guy, early 30s, on the scene helping the rider when your husband showed up?

There were others on scene by the time he got there, including a cop or two. He mentioned another rider, maybe a cruiser rider, as well as the victim's friend and some others. He said there was not much that could have been done, the trauma was just too extensive.

He did say it was the corner by the ranger station, tricky right hander.

Why I asked is that my girlfriend mentioned that her manager came across a motorcycle accident outside Estacada. He was an ER nurse for a long time before being a manager of her med surge unit. He tried assisting the rider, but there was nothing he could have done. Said it was the worst thing that he ever saw.

Just did that corner for the first time last weekend, but fortunately I was following someone who knew it well. It is tricky, but it also pays to slow down around ranger stations. RIP rider.
