Early Monday morning in the South Lake Union neighborhood of Seattle, a serious crash left two people with critical injuries. A man and a woman in their early 30s were riding together on a Lime electric scooter when they crossed several lanes on Aurora Avenue (Highway 99) and were struck by a truck at about 4:30 a.m. Both victims were rushed to Harborview Medical Center, where they are receiving treatment.
According to police, another man riding a separate Lime scooter was with the pair; he was uninjured and provided a statement after the collision. The truck driver, a 69-year-old man, showed no signs of impairment. Southbound Aurora Avenue was shut down completely until about 7 a.m., causing significant traffic delays during the morning rush.
