12:13 PM: Police say they’re blocking downhill traffic on the Highland Park Way hill because of a crash described as a driver colliding with a motorcycle or scooter rider. The rider has injuries and is being treated by Seattle Fire medics.
12:33 PM: In medical-assessment radio communication, medics now describe the rider as a 75-year-old man who was on a scooter when hit. His injuries are not described as life-threatening; he’ll be taken to Harborview Medical Center.
Thanks for noting this WSB. Is there any way to find out how the rider is doing? On scene after the fact it didn’t look like the scooter itself was too damaged. The police said the rider had swerved away from the curb side of the lane to avoid a storm sewer drain, colliding with the side mirror on the car.
Only if you have a name. Otherwise, the responders’ info trail ends with the hospital transport (unless a patient dies, in which case a different round of public information is triggered). – TR
