One Killed, two hurt in crash near Breitenbush campground
According to the Saturday, 8/30, Staesman-Journal there was a crash involving 3 motorcycles in which one was killed one was Life Flighted to Emanuel hospital in Portland and the third was taken to Santiam hospital.

The article in the paper was pretty vague.

Apparently this happened on NF 46 near Breitenbush campground on Friday 8/29 around 2:00 PM.

Marion County sheriffs are investigating.

Anyone know anything about this?

It's sad when a fellow rider dies and others are hurt.

In recient years they have been stepping up enforcment on the Clackamas River Hwy.

I hope this incident will not cause further enforcement.

R I P fellow rider.
I hope for a speedy recovery for the other two.

2 of the guys are from Stayton and the 1 killed was a 60 yr. old from Lake Oswego. The 2 that survived appear to be father/son as the ages were like 57 and 22. Their last names are Heibert.

I rode that road Saturday morning and was aware of the accident the day before but never saw any police tape, road markings, etc. where the accident took place. My first thought was that they were probably following each other very close and played "follow the leader" when the first guy crashed. Just speculation though ...

I heard the rumors late Friday Afternoon. Didnt want to post it and not have it be true. I dont think this has been a good year for the 2-wheel community. My Prayers go out to those Riders and Families involved.
