A trial for a half-dozen felony counts was started Monday for a guy from Portland who got into the cab of an idle tow truck and fled as a Retriever Towing employee was fighting for his life.
In the July 10, 2022, alleged hijacking, Eric Clayson Streitzel, 38, allegedly sped up on Interstates 405 and 5 after boarding the truck on the east end of the Steel Bridge and weaving through Old Town, reaching speeds of up to 85 mph, according to the prosecution.
