A 66 year-old Lancaster County man was killed 7-31-07 while riding a scooter on Rt. 772 just South of Leola, according to the Intelligencer Journal. The report was posted on Lancaster OnLine. Apparently a car pulled in front of him and he couldn't avoid the collision. He was wearing a helmet, but pronounced dead at the scene.
The rider was Emauel Beiler of Gordonville.
I'm thinking of the yard signs that proliferate in the summer: "Motorcycles Are Everywhere". So are scooters. This accident happened in the middle of the afternoon on clear, sunny day. Drivers: look both ways. Then look again. Don't just look for moving things the size of a car... really see and evaluate your surroundings.
Riders: Always assume that car in front of you is going to do the stupid thing.
