"AIS responded to meet CPD in regard to a vehicle striking a Bird Scooter. A blue Kia Rio was traveling south on Main Street, with a green light at East 43rd Street. As the Kia entered the intersection, a female riding a Bird Scooter east on East 43rd Street failed to stop at the red light. The Kia struck the Bird Scooter and the rider. The rider went under the Kia and was dragged several feet, becoming trapped under the Kia. The Bird Scooter rider was transported to an area hospital with serious injuries."
