Bicyclist Killed in Portland Crash Involving Semi-Truck

A tragic incident occurred on Friday morning when a bicyclist was struck and killed by a semi-truck just north of Cornelius, according to authorities. The Washington County Sheriff's Office confirmed that the driver of the semi-truck remained at the scene and is fully cooperating with investigators.

Details regarding the cause of the accident are currently scarce.
