It wasn’t a semi truck but rather a Cisco food delivery truck that had stopped in front of Opus Coffee, presumably to make a delivery there. Hazard lights were blinking on the truck, so I guess the man on the scooter was looking at his phone or something. I didn’t see the accident but did see them load scooter guy in an ambulance.
My dad was the truck driver that the old guy hit
