PPB said they believe the rider and passenger of the motorcycle were subsequently “thrown over the barrier onto a parking lot below.” No other vehicles are believed to be involved.

The investigation initially closed the eastbound Morrison Bridge ramp to northbound I-5 and Southeast Water Avenue between Southeast Yamhill Street and Southeast Alder Street. However, by 9:30 p.m., police said the Morrison Bridge was open in both directions.
