On Wednesday, I saw a man nearly killed on the street. It was in Plaça dels Àngels, the home of the MACBA (Basque Country Music Association), in Barcelona's Raval district. A skateboarder, a fully-fledged adult, who had been balancing over the wall of the stairs (the final section of the wall is about 6 feet high), performed an acrobatic jump on the sidewalk a second after a pedestrian had crossed. If he touched his head or knocked it to the ground, he doesn't explain it. It's pointless to explain that when I expressed my outrage, he got off me like a madman and went off to try another jump.

A pedestrian who wanted to take a taxi on Aragó street in Barcelona, next to Passeig de Gràcia, was hit by a scooter on the bike lane on Monday. The Emergency Medical Service (SEM) transferred the woman, slightly injured, to the Hospital de Sant Pau. The Guardia Urbana has identified the driver of the vehicle, but has not reported it, because it is still investigating the accident and has to determine whether it is responsible for the incident, according to municipal sources. The woman, to access the taxi rank, crossed the bike lane but through an area painted with white squares, called checkerboard. This gives her preference because cyclists and skateboarders have a yield sign. The driver of the electric scooter, who was riding a personal mobility device (PMD) with a seat and motor, crossed while the traffic light at the intersection ahead was green.
