The recent car crashing into the Columbia River in Portland along Marine Drive tells an evolving story.

• The driver was a young man, Guillermo Soto Briceno, 43, of Portland.  This reflect the tragedy of so many young people dying in Portland.

• The driver plowed through a protective barrier.   This suggests that alcohol, drugs or speeding was involved.   Portland has a problem with all three of these crimes.

• The Portland driver who died had no public online presence and is not a voter in Oregon.  Is this someone who has fallen through the cracks of our community?   If so, how many others are falling through?

• The car fell into the river surrounded by trash which has become the new face of the Columbia River in Portland due to rampant homeless camps and the City neglecting to pick up trash.   Although this is minor compared to the death of person, it is interesting that this random car accident at a random location reveals how different Portland has become in the last 10 years.
