A woman driving a rental scooter was hit by a driver in a stolen vehicle on 4th and Main, Wednesday, October 27, around 1pm. 

Witnesses say the woman, who was driving in the opposite direction on a one-way street, had no time to react to the speeding car as it collided with her head on sending her several feet into the air. The unidentified woman who landed head first on the hard hot concrete is expected to recover.
