E-Scooter Manslaughter Arrest
(Portland, OR) -- A 21-year-old Beaverton man is charged with manslaughter in the death of a man who was a passenger on his e-scooter. Investigators say that in August, Jayden Calkins was driving a Lyme scooter with 24-year-old Gerardo Ortiz Hernandez as a passenger. They crashed with a tractor-trailer on Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard at Northeast Holladay Street. Ortiz Hernandez was killed and Calkins was hospitalized. A grand jury heard the case and indicted Calkins of manslaughter, driving under the influence of alcohol and reckless driving. Calkins turned himself in and was arrested.
