A male riding a scooter was struck by a vehicle at Southwest 5th Avenue and 12th Street.
The victim suffered a broken left leg, said GPD spokesman Ben Tobias. He has been taken to UF Health Shands Hospital to receive medical attention.
The Gainesville Police Department received the call around 2 p.m. Tobias has no further information at this time.
University of Florida sophomore Agustina Buedo was at the scene during the incident.
“Basically, I was just walking down by Norman [Hall] and all of a sudden I just hear a huge screech and a bang,” Buedo said. “I look up and there’s just a guy on the floor.”
People from the surrounding apartments approached the victim, Buedo said. She didn’t see him respond.
From where she was standing on the sidewalk, Buedo could see blood on the road.
