Scooter hit and run leaves cyclist in the hospital

June 25, 2019 | <3 Lauren

Not sure how I feel about the scooter phenomenon that hit our fine city in the past weeks, seems like too many things can go wrong.  Scooters littering the city, impeding pedways, sidewalks and roads seems like the set up for lots of issues.  Like what just happened to Allyson Medeiros, tattooist at Evoke Tattoos in Ukranian Village and Skin Abrasions Tattoos in Oak Park, who was cycling home from work Thursday and hit head on by someone riding a scooter in the wrong direction.

“While traveling in the bike lane, he was hit head-on by someone riding on the wrong side of the road on one of the new rental E-scooters. This accident caused him to sustain very serious trauma to his face, including multiple breaks to the jaw/nose/orbit/palate, multiple lacerations requiring more than  20 stitches, and a dangerous amount of air in his chest cavity. He spent the night in the trauma unit of the ER after being transported there from another hospital. Although he will make a full recovery, the medical bills he has accrued paired with needed recovery time away from work, has left him in need of help. Allyson unfortunately does not have health insurance, so any donations would be immensely appreciated.”  From the Go Fund Me raising money for Allyson HERE.

The collision happened at N Leavitt and W Crystal in Ukranian Village Thursday around 5:30p if you have any information, please contact Chicago PD.

Get well soon Allyson.

Last thursday I got hit by one of these new rental E-scooters while biking home after work. I got 3 facial bones fractured, broken nose, 4 teeth broken, more than 20 stiches in multiple parts of my face and the most dangerous thing was getting air in my chest cavities. The past few days have being interesting watching my body healing from all of this. I am extremely happy and grateful for what happened compared to what could have happened and even more grateful to everyone that is being so helpfull and loving with me right now. My Evoke family created a Gofundme page to help me cover for the medical bills and time away from work. The link is in my Bio, any amount adds up and will be immensely appreciated. I am stoked to be alive! Special thanks to you Marci, Nicole, Maddy, Brooke and Brooke B, Lacey, Roman, Cassandra. Love you guys too much. 🖤 #fixalsface
