On June 24, 2009 near 400 North and 100 West in Bountiful, Utah a man was severely injured in a scooter crash.  Reportedly a truck was stopped at  a stop sign and the scooter rider drove through the intersection just as the truck started to go again.  KSL reports that Bountiful police Sargent Todd Hixson said "The truck, from what we can tell so far, didn't see the scooter, pulled out in front of him, and the scooter hit the side of the truck."

The KSL article did not say whether there was a stop sign facing the scooter rider or who was responsible for the crash but the rider did suffer a broken femur and sustained head injury.  Apparently an investigation is ongoing and the police say if they cite anyone, it will be the truck driver.

This is the whole point to my recent television campaign - to alert drivers to the fact that there are motorcycles and scooters on the road and to look for us.  Let's all be careful out there.
