From eyewitness:
At 12:43am on Saturday morning, September 27, I heard a loud crash. Came outside and saw a young man on a scooter had been the victim of a hit and run crossing Idlewood on Cherry.
911 rang for 4 minutes before picking up to answer. Cars were flying down Idlewood, almost hitting the downed scooter rider. A civilian car blocked traffic so the victim couldn’t be hit again.
It’s worth noting that the neighborhood association has been asking for about a decade for the same type of traffic calming measures (signs, speed bumps/tables) that are seen on VCU’s campus and other neighborhoods in the City.
Idelwood is very dangerous the street is a two way and very narrow with homes and cars parked in front. I don’t know what to think about it because I almost had an accident on idlewood and Allen st very dangerous.
