Man On Scooter Hit By Car, Seriously Injured: Stamford Police

GREENWICH, CT — A 46-year-old Stamford man was seriously injured after police say he was struck by a car while riding a scooter Thursday night.

The scooter operator was taken to Stamford Hospital with serious but non-life threatening injuries, according to Sgt. Jeffrey Booth of the Stamford Police Department's Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Squad.

The crash occurred May 29 at approximately 10:59 p.m. in the 100 block of Hope Street.

A 2011 BMW, driven by a 17-year-old Stamford resident, was traveling northbound on Hope Street when it collided with a person riding a stand-up scooter that was also heading northbound, Booth said.

Booth noted the impact caused the scooter operator, who was wearing a helmet, to be thrown onto the roadway. The scooter was heavily damaged and broken into several pieces.

The operator of the BMW initially left the area, but parked the vehicle a short distance away and walked back to the scene where he spoke to officers, Booth said. No charges have been filed at this time.

An investigation remains open. Anyone with more information is asked to contact the Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Squad at 203-977-4712.
