Scooter Rider Seriously Hurt In Collision With Car In Denver
DENVER (CBS4) - Denver Police are investigating after a scooter rider was seriously hurt in a crash with a car. Officers were called to the intersection of E. 1st Ave. and N. Cherokee St. just after 5 p.m.
Investigators said the scooter rider blew past a stop sign before they were hit by the driver.
"She hit the top of my car, busted out my windshield, rolled down onto the roof of my car, cracked my driver's side light, and then rolled onto the ground. So I think my car broke her fall," said Christelle Ford.
