Thanks to everyone driving in Sodo who pulled over to help check on the Like Scooter rider unconscious in the road a few hours ago. My mind was racing a mile a minute before you guys got there my hands were shaking so much I could hardly call 911. Sorry I was is amped on adrenaline when we all said goodbye so I didn’t say much. But I cannot express to you guys how grateful I was when I was no longer the only one standing in the road trying to get this guy some help. Thank you all for getting out to help this guy and for being good people.
Please be careful if you like to use the like scooters to get around town. Luckily, this guy was talking to paramedics when i left. I heard him say he knew he was in Seattle. Just happy his eyes open honestly. When I turned onto 1st and got midway down the block there is just a young guy completely out in the other lane under a lime scooter with his phone and glasses splayed across the street. Rolled my window down thinking he was maybe a drunk guy that had just rolled out of a bad fall and was just taking a beat before getting himself up. Got over to him, completely unresponsive to leg pats or my “hey buddy”’s. It was a bad. I don’t think I’ll ever lime scoot again after being that worried for this dude and the length of time it took him to make the slightest movement of his body. Ive never seen someone that unresponsive for that long before. I could see a small pool of blood pooling up under his face & standing over him I felt such a deep sense of dread from not knowing if his head was cracked open on the other side or not. We saw he was breathing but it felt like at least a few minutes before he moved his head a little then glanced at us before passing out again. Maybe it just felt that long to me im not sure. Eventually he got moving and I could see it was his cuts on his face not his head. Hope you’re ok out there dude. I cant imagine how hard he must have hit his head on the asphalt & the fact that he was alone when this happened & was completely out cold in a busy street, it was really just really concerning & scary the condition he was in.
Just saying remember to be careful next time you hop on one of those things, be safe
