... At 3:20 am- a woman in her 20's was thrown from her motor scooter after it was intentionally struck from behind by another vehicle.

She was taken from the 63rd Street and Brookside Boulevard crime scene with serious injuries to a city trauma center.

Police give witness accounts that the woman was on her orange and white scooter when it was struck from behind by a large- blue-colored car- possibly a Chevy Caprice.

The driver in the blue car- also a black male- then drove south on Brookside. It wasn't known if there were others in the blue car.

It seemed liked there were a lot of car accidents over the weekend. I was listening to the scanner and heard a lot of calls for accidents all over the metro. More than usual. I don't know what the deal was. And stabbings. You missed a few stabbings. There was the one reported on the news at 20th and Linwood, but I heard another go out in kind of the same area.
