Friend Of Woman Killed In Street Racing Crash Speaks Out

(Portland, OR) -- A friend of a woman who was killed when a street racer crashed into her vehicle in Southeast Portland last week is urging others not to race on city streets. Jodi King spoke to KATU-TV yesterday about her friend, 55-year-old Julie Skeen, who died following the crash on Powell Boulevard last Thursday. King says street racing is "a selfish thing to do" and that Skeen was "a great woman" who was taken from her loved ones too soon. The Portland Police Bureau says 18-year-old twins Hannah and Grace Fetters were racing another vehicle when they crashed into Skeen's car. Both Fetters also died from their injuries.
