Man dies after being knocked down by woman on scooter

This is why you don't let motor vehicles operate in pedestrian areas. Move fast and break things should not be a part of public policy.

Replace a car lane with two bike/scooter lanes (one slow, one fast) with hard dividers, and you eliminate this problem and make life better for most people at the same time.

Those look like Lime scooters, right? It seems like with a time and location, Lime ought to be able to identify whose account was used to rent the scooters. They store a GPS trace for every ride.

&gt; Anyone with information is urged to contact police.<p>These scooters are tracked in real time and linked with an account containing your name, credit card, and even an ID. Cross reference the active scooters with the time of the fatal incident and area&#x2F;street.<p>LAPD truly is incompetent. I don’t doubt that it was likely a drunk tourist as well and have probably flown back to their shit hole while the LAPD is still asking the public for help.

It seems to be mistakes and bad luck all around. The crash seems to be poor driving rather than deliberate recklessness*, running away is an odd and risky behavior (one would hope, in terms of legal consequences) in addition to being wrong, and refusing medical treatment was a huge mistake.<p>* Based on this part: “Donny and Jenny Kim stepped onto the sidewalk. They didn&#x27;t see the woman on the scooter coming.”

Those scooter riders suck! Both for riding irresponsibly AND especially for riding away. But these incidents can be reduced (if not eliminated) with a bike lane where they could be separated from both pedestrians and cars.

Comes down to the present infrastructure and &quot;arrogance of space&quot; that forces everyone who does not want to ride 25mph+ or get crushed by a tank to ride in the remaining 10% of space.

Who flags this? Why?<p>Everyone needs to see this to be more careful walking on sidewalks. Those who does this needs to see this to wake up and see you can kill someone doing this.

The victim refused to go to the hospital, which seems to be a major factor. Would he have done so if he wasn&#x27;t scared of the financial impact?

There is a scooter person who rides up and down my street at around 45MPH every morning and evening. It&#x27;s so fast the whole thing is over in about 3 seconds, I don&#x27;t think you could safely even flag them down.<p>Ok, not great.<p>But who the heck would do this on a sidewalk? As a society we can&#x27;t give people powerful tools with no training and then be surprised when they mow down other humans.<p>Who should be liable? The operators or manufacturers, or both?<p>This episode is tragically sad, and I&#x27;m certain it&#x27;s not the first time.
