Default Scooter Man Jacks up Two Others

hahaha

SANTA BARBARA A 27-year-old Santa Barbara man riding on a homemade scooter -- a lawnmower engine attached to a skateboard deck -- hit two vehicles Tuesday afternoon at rush hour after his brakes failed. The man was approaching the intersection of Old Coast Road and Hot Springs Road and "clipped" one vehicle in the rear while "slaloming" between cars in an attempt to slow down, said Santa Barbara police Lt. Paul McCaffrey. He then rear-ended a stopped vehicle and was ejected from the seat of his unlicensed, unregistered scooter, which flew backward and struck the vehicle behind. The operator of the scooter possessed a suspended license, the driver of the rear vehicle was unlicensed, and the driver of the front vehicle possessed an expired license -- all received citations. The drivers of the vehicles were uninjured, and the scooter operator was taken to Cottage Hospital for minor injuries.
