i was just wearing shorts. it was a little chilly so i actually threw a sweatshirt on which i think was good. >> what he's not wearing is a helmet and in iowa, it's not required. >> it's just nice to get out and let your hair blow in the wind. >> today at the intersection of burlington and gilbert, there's a truck headed straight toward him, and josh thinks nothing of it at first. >> we both had green lights. i was probably going 25 or 30 miles an hour. just going through the intersection. >> what josh doesn't know is that an approaching police car is recording the whole thing. >> officer eric lippold was proceeding towards us or southbound on gilbert street. the pickup turned directly in front of josh. josh, on his scooter, impacted the right front corner area of the pickup, and josh was thrown from his scooter. >> the moped is knocked out from under him and josh is flying headlong. >> it was last second, i just saw it right as he hit me. i remember just seeing the truck there, and i think i kind of braced myself. i didn't even hit the brakes. i didn't have time to.
