A Lakewood man is demanding changes to Denver’s electric scooter program. He’s recovering from a broken hip after a disturbing incident on the 16th Street Mall Monday morning.
John Gallagher is blind. He had been waiting for a bus when he was hit by a scooter rider, who then fled the scene.
“I just remember falling and landing on my back,” Gallagher said. “It felt like Dick Butkus ran over me.”
The 59-year-old can barely stand after the crash shattered his hip and knee.
“She just came out of nowhere,” he said.
Gallagher buys and sells vintage cars, Hollywood memorabilia, and games — from Galaga to Astroids. He had been meeting a client when the Lime scooter rider crashed into him.
