In less than a month, another #Oregonian killed while #cycling by someone operating an empty log truck #TruckingIndustry #LogTrucks #LoggingTrucks

The Register-Guard provided a map clip, but did not include all information provided in the police report, much less discover & report new details like the speed limit. One omission was the truck driver's name. Police, however, did provide the name of the driver. Curious why that was omitted by the press? #CrashReporting
