PORTLAND, Ore. - A 67-year-old man was killed in a rollover crash in North Portland Friday afternoon.
The crash happened just after 2 p.m. in the area of North Chautauqua Blvd. and North Columbia Blvd.
According to police, the man who was killed was slowly changing lanes when he struck another vehicle going in the same direction.
The vehicle he struck ended up with minimal damage, but the man's Ford Explorer crashed into a guardrail and rolled over onto the driver's side.
Speed has been ruled out as a factor in the crash and investigators say there is some indication the man may have had some type of medical problem prior to the crash.
The man's name has not yet been released, pending notification of relatives. Police say he was a resident of North Portland.
