A man is facing multiple charges, including manslaughter, following a fatal crash in Fairview early Saturday morning.

On March 1, 2025, at approximately 2:18 a.m., Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO) patrol deputies responded to an automatic crash notification from Toyota near NE 201st Avenue and NE Broadway Court. 

Around the same time, a man, later identified as 27-year-old Leonardo Bollas-Zafra, called 911 claiming he was the victim of a hit-and-run crash. Deputies found him with his car, a Toyota Camry, near NE 158^th Avenue and NE Fremont Street. Bollas-Zafra appeared confused and struggled to answer questions.

Deputies searching the area where the crash occurred discovered an unconscious man on the east side of NE Halsey Street and NE Broadway Court. Deputies performed life-saving measures by administering CPR. Despite these attempts, the man did not survive. 

Based on evidence at the scene, it is believed that the man was a passenger in the car driven by Bollas-Zafra. The Camry collided with a power pole.

Bollas-Zafra, who appeared impaired, was detained. Field sobriety tests were conducted, and a hospital blood draw resulted in a blood alcohol level of .23, nearly three times the legal limit.

Bollas-Zafra was arrested and was booked on charges of:

• Manslaughter in the second degree,
• Felony hit and run,
• Driving under the influence of intoxicants (DUII), and
• Reckless Driving.

This investigation will be forwarded to the Multnomah County District Attorney’s Office for prosecution.
