Elena witnessed a hit-and-run collision between a delivery scooter and a pedestrian at a busy intersection. While waiting at the scene, she discussed the event with a barista from a nearby coffee cart. The following day, Elena read an online neighborhood blog post about the incident which claimed that the delivery driver was wearing a bright red backpack and ignored a stop sign. A month later, Elena was asked by police to provide a detailed written statement regarding the driver's appearance and the traffic signs.
