Midtown, GA : Electric scooter rider dies in collision with CobbLinc bus at the intersection of West Peachtree Street NW and 15th Street NE on Wednesday, 17th July 2019

Police are investigating the death of an electric scooter rider who collided with a CobbLinc bus in Midtown Wednesday night.

Atlanta police say they were called just before 10:30 p.m. to the intersection of West Peachtree Street NW and 15th Street NE, where the scooter rider was trapped under the bus.

He reportedly died before firefighters could free him.“Atlanta Fire and Grady were able to extricate the male where they realized he had succumbed to his injuries,” Atlanta Police Officer Jarius Daugherty told the MDJ Thursday morning. “At this time, it is unknown who was the at-fault party.”

The rider was later identified by the Fulton County Medical Examiner’s office as 37-year-old Atlanta resident William Bradford Alexander.

Police say the bus was turning right onto 15th street when it collided with the man.

It is not clear whether Alexander was riding the scooter at the moment of collision.
