Talisman published an excellent account of the day's ride several hours ago.
For those who missed the news story about the deaths of Orion Christopher Satushek and Angela L. Leazenby and the injuring of Caroline Buchalter here is a brief excerpt from KATU's web site.
Investigators: Driver Had Twice The Legal Limit
PORTLAND - A police report has revealed that the driver of the mini-van that struck and killed two bicyclists early Wednesday morning had a blood alcohol level that was more than twice the legal limit and that he was traveling faster than the posted speed.
Police said the driver, 49-year old Lindsey Llaneza, was headed west on SE Belmont when he swerved to avoid the first of four cyclists riding on the street.
Llaneza then struck the three other bicycle riders between SE 42nd and 40th Avenues.
------------
Records show Llaneza shouldn't have been on the road. He was in court this past Monday after pleading guilty to a previous drunk driving charge and his drivers' license had been suspended.
