Portland, Ore. • A final video of Richard Swanson shows him smiling and happy to be at the ocean as he prepared to dribble a soccer ball along Oregon’s coastal road on a planned 10,000-mile walk to Brazil. It was the same coastal road where he was fatally hit by a pickup truck, just an hour after posting the video on Facebook. Swanson’s trek began in Seattle on May 1. It ended on Tuesday near Lincoln City, Ore. when he was struck by a pickup truck on Oregon’s busy U.S. 101 just a few days shor...
