On August 28, 26-year-old Ashlee McGill was struck and killed after a vehicle lost control during a street race and jumped the curb, slamming into the bench where she was sitting waiting for a bus.
McGill, an innocent bystander, was the only fatality recorded during the incident. According to Portland Police , officers received reports of a crash on Southeast Stark Street and Southeast 133rd Avenue at 5:30 am on Saturday August 27.
Upon arriving at the scene, they found one car wrapped around a tree, and another that had been hit in the process.
The driver of the vehicle was transported to a local hospital with “unknown injuries.”
McGill’s mother spoke with KGW News following the crash.
“She didn’t deserve it. She’s a good girl. She’s my baby,” she said.
“They say [the car] hit so hard, it exploded the bench,” she added, noting that authorities would not let her see her daughter’s body because it was “pretty bad.”
McGill’s mother went on to point out that accidents caused by street racing hurt more than just the drivers.”Slow down and think before you do things,” she warned potential racers. “There’s more lives than just yours you’re putting on the line.”In the days since, a memorial has been set up for McGill and a small vigil was held.The family has also set up a GoFundMe to raise money for her funeral costs.”Ashley had a fierce love for her son Ryker and could brighten up any room with her cheery smile and demeanor,” wrote her uncle, Jeff.”Her candle was put out far too soon, and her loved ones are simply not ready emotionally or financially to let her go.

Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
