Seen this as I set at that same stop light. As he came out to cross on his scooter the driver was sitting at the yield ( yellow arrow light ) and as they took off to make a left turn they hit the young boy on the scooter. It was so sad to watch. I don’t know what’s going on with the drivers in Ashland lately but it has been awful. That young man flew in the air landed and still tried to get back up as he stumbled and fail again. He was hit pretty hard 😩…I pray that he is ok. It was as though she was watching for the cars coming down as she set to go but didn’t watch to see if anyone was crossing from her left or right. I get this could have been anyone but most of all it’s definitely a lesson learned to watch for those crossing even if you have the go. 😒
