“Dear PoPville,
I’m hoping you can help me find a witness. Around 2:45 pm yesterday (Wed.), I was stopped at the light on Park Place and Kenyon Street NW. I was in the left lane, next to the southbound bike lane. Very suddenly, 2-3 cars (maybe Kia Souls? Those boxy kind of cars) sped by going through the red light on my right, and another came up behind me and drove over the flexiposts/concrete through the bike lane to do the same. There were no cyclists or others in the lane, thank goodness.
I heard a scrape, not a crash, and was so stunned I didn’t know what to do. As I got out to look at the car, I noticed scratches and scraping. I then saw a police car drive by, and turn right on Kenyon (not following any of the cars, no lights on, etc).
A kind person in front of me, in a blue or green car, opened their door and asked if I was okay, and I said yes, but didn’t think to ask for their info. I was on the way to a vet appointment for my old, possibly sick dog (also in the car with me) and was mostly worried about being late, not processing what just happened.
I called the cops to file a report, even though it’s a little late. But if anyone else witnessed this and can help, could you put them in contact with me?”
Anyone with info can email me at [email protected] and I’ll put you in touch with OP.
