I’m still waiting on details, but I’m pissed off because I learned that a coworker was hit by a driver & sent to the hospital while walking to the office from Capitol Hill this morning.
When will the epidemic of traffic violence end?

Update: they are doing better & should be released from the hospital later today.
I confirmed with them that they are the pedestrian in this report from Ryan Packer: https://twitter.com/typewriteralley/status/1662119540166377472

Final update: my coworker is back home & is now resting. Feeling some relief.
CW violence
Here’s what happened:
She was walking across Denny when a driver turned left into her, hitting her & sending her 10 feet where she hit the back of her head on asphalt. She got a concussion & sprained wrist

@bobco85 I'm sorry to hear about this, Bob. Hope they recover quickly and completely.
@bobco85 glad that wasn't worse. I don't live there but I think I hear about Denny too much, and not in a good way. I hope they find the traffic engineer who did this.
@bobco85 hope she has a full and quick recovery! Each one of these should be treated like the urgent issue it is. SDOT should take swift and substantial action to better prevent future occurrences
@bobco85 Oh no! Hope she will be okay. Denny is full of danger. So much for Vision Zero.
