Episode Details

A sixteen-year-old Chicago teen, Alex Blacio, died after being struck by a semi-truck while riding his e-scooter home — the third teen fatality this year linked to e-scooters in the city. His family has launched a GoFundMe that’s already raised over $12,000, honoring him as a kind-hearted soul with a free spirit. As e-scooter use surges — over 7 million trips last year — Mayor Brandon Johnson’s office and state lawmakers are stepping up with safety campaigns and new legislation to curb accidents, urging helmet use, sidewalk avoidance, and safer lane practices.
