“Dear PoPville,
I was scootering to work Wednesday morning on 19th St and collided with a trash truck that was coming out of an alley. The truck was flying down the alley way too quickly onto the sidewalk and would have fully hit me if I hadn’t slammed on my brakes.
He ended up lightly hitting me on the shoulder; I am fine but when I looked up at the driver I realized he hadn’t seen me even after we made contact.
As soon as I got out from in front of the truck, a very nice woman walking on the sidewalk who saw the incident asked me if I was alright. I didn’t have the wherewithal to stop and thank her, but if you’re reading this, thank you for being a good person!”
