The 911 call details a witness reporting what they believe might be a hit-and-run involving a person and a scooter. The caller describes observing the scene after the fact, noting a person on the ground in apparent pain near a scooter, but the events leading to the situation are unclear. The operator introduces potential confusion by mentioning that another simultaneous caller is reporting that a van might have been involved. The caller, however, is adamant that no van was present or involved based on their observation at a prior point in time. Probable HIT and RUN The caller's speculation about a hit-and-run is highly probable due to several logical and contextual factors that align with the circumstances they observed.
