The Saline County Sheriff’s Office said that Lanham was skating west on East Country Club Road when an 82-year-old woman driving westbound struck him with her car.
“She knew she struck something. She just wasn’t sure what,” Lieutenant Scott Trembley said.
The woman turned around to see what she had hit, but didn’t see Lanham. However, when she returned home, she noticed damage to her car and returned to find police and paramedics at the scene.
82 year olds shouldn't be driving, and someone should have told that Norwegian that roads in America aren't the same as Norway.
Like, I wish they were, but they're just not. Trying to rollerblade across all of America just flat out isn't safe. There are parts where it might be safe, but in the Midwest and definitely the desert/mountains you're gonna have to choose between highways or unlined rural streets with distracted drivers at some point.
And that's not even into how car accidents aren't the only danger

Sort of a hit and run. Old woman heard she hit something but didn't see what, then got home and saw damage to her car, and then returned to the scene. Sounds a bit fishy, really.
reminds me of the poor guy cycling the world and was killed on the road in Northern Australia some years back.

This country is dangerous for anyone who wants to take their time traveling across it. I recall a hitchhiker bot was violently dismembered somewhere in Philadelphia right after successfully hitchhiking across Canada with no incident.

Well that's a great metaphor for the current state of that shithole country 😂
That’s the most American title I’ll hear this year.
