Portland police have identified the motorcyclist who died after a crash in Northwest Portland on July 24. Police said Madison E. Jennerjohn, 34, died from injuries suffered in the collision. The family has been notified.
According to KATU, Jennerjohn and another person were seriously injured when the motorcycles they were operating crashed at Northwest St. Helens Road and Northwest Front Avenue. Police were notified early Saturday, July 25, that Jennerjohn had died.
The report does not say what led to the crash. That detail matters in a motorcycle collision case because scene evidence, witness statements, and police reports can help explain how the impact happened and whether another driver, road condition, or some other factor played a role.
Police asked anyone with information who has not yet spoken with investigators to email crimetips@police.portlandoregon.gov (opens in a new tab) and reference case No. 26-215631.
For families, a fatal motorcycle crash can also raise practical questions about medical records, insurance notices, and the steps that follow a death investigation. A prompt record of the crash scene, the responding agency, and contact information for witnesses can help preserve details while they are still available.

I was very pleasantly surprised by his attention to detail and tenacious negotiating tactics... Adam handled everything to make sure I received the maximum compensation for my injuries. If you need a good personal injury lawyer you just found one.”
