General Witnessed a serious scooter accident on campus. Please wear a helmet and slow down in crowded areas
During the week, I witnessed a terrible accident on campus involving a student on an electric scooter and a UCF Facilities driver. I can’t say who was at fault. Neither appeared to be speeding, but the student was hit and landed face-first on the ground. He lost consciousness and was bleeding. He regained consciousness before the police arrived and took over, but it was frightening to witness. I really hope he’s doing okay.
Please wear a helmet when riding a bike or scooter, and slow down and be patient in crowded areas.
I also had a close call at 63 South. Someone riding past at high speed almost collided with me as I came out of the restroom. If we had collided, we both could have been seriously hurt.
Please stay aware of your surroundings, especially if you’re wearing earbuds or headphones. I don’t want to see anyone else get hurt.
