PORTLAND — A motorcyclist has died in a crash near a downtown Portland bridge.

Sgt. Pete Simpson of the Portland Police Bureau says officers were called to the Morrison Bridge about 5 a.m. Tuesday by someone who saw a motorcycle without a rider on the ramp to northbound I-5.

Simpson says officers were able to find the rider, but he was deceased.

Simpson says there’s no indication another vehicle was involved in the crash. Investigators closed the ramp, slowing traffic as sunrise approached.
