Posted on Mar 8th, 2025
Please be aware of a concerning incident that occurred on the morning of Thursday, March 6th, involving a vehicle that posed a potential danger to pedestrians. If you or anyone you know frequently runs or walks in the area, please exercise extra caution. Below is a detailed account of the incident:
At approximately 6:15 am on Thursday, March 6th, a silver automobile, which appeared to be a Mitsubishi, swerved toward a runner near the intersection of Upper Lake and Water Point. The runner was heading northbound along the edge of the street, facing traffic, and was no more than 18–24 inches from the curb. The automobile noticeably steered toward them. Despite the runner waving their arms while wearing a neon yellow long-sleeve quarter zip, the vehicle continued in their direction. To avoid being struck, the runner moved onto a nearby lawn. After turning around and waving again, the automobile accelerated at a speed that appeared to exceed the posted limit. This incident has raised significant concerns for the safety of runners and walkers in the neighborhood.
If anyone has witnessed similar incidents or has security footage from the area, please consider reporting it to local authorities. Stay alert and stay safe!
