The reporting party was taking her son to the emergency room. The responding officer spoke to a man who witnessed what had happened, and he said there was no collision and that the juvenile was riding his scooter too fast and lost his balance when he hit the apron of the sidewalk. There were no other people involved.
Officers responded to a motor vehicle collision at the intersection of Commercial Avenue and 28th Street. Dispatch noted that it involved two vehicles and that the collision was non-injury and non-blocking, but the vehicles were stuck together. Officers arrived and gathered vehicle documents from the two drivers. One of the drivers advised that he had slowed his vehicle and stopped in the roadway due to a deer crossing. As the other driver gathered his documents, he had trouble finding his paperwork and seemed lethargic to the responding officer. Officers ultimately determined that the man was impaired, and evidentiary breath samples taken at the police department showed the man’s breath alcohol at about double the legal limit for driving. Officers transported the man to jail.
