Bicyclist dies after being hit by car
A 24-year-old bicyclist was killed in Southeast Portland late Friday after he was hit by a car.
Nicholas Bucher, was taken to OHSU Hospital, where he died, according to Portland police.
Bucher collided with a car driven by 32-year-old Cyrus Stanger at the intersection of Southeast Stark Street and 26th Avenue, police said. Stanger, who was cited on an accusation of fourth-degree assault, submitted to a toxicology test to determine if alcohol or drugs were a factor in the crash, police said.

Five years ago Nick's friend Ryan Gladstone, was killed in a drunk driving accident on NE 33rd Ave. near Morris St. He was 20 years old. After Ryan's tragic death, Nick spent a great deal of time with Ryan's mother through the grieving process, which is ongoing. The senseless loss of Nick in this stupid accident could have easily been avoided. Cyrus Stanger was driving his SUV over the speed limit and simply wasn't looking for cyclists as he rushed down a main through-street. Purportedly, his lights were not turned on and it was around midnight. I will give him credit for not being another hit-and-run driver. Nick was an intelligent, funny, sensitive, talented young man who was taken from his friends and family by the carelessness of one person.
