## Resource

A Burlington artist faces charges after a fatal crash in July that killed 16-year-old e-bike rider Shiloh Skalka. Knapp, driving a minivan southbound on Pine Street, is accused of negligent operation. Skalka, wearing a helmet, was also headed south when the collision occurred — though exact positioning remains unclear. Emergency crews arrived within minutes, but Skalka died en route to UVM Medical Center. The incident has reignited debate over Pine Street’s road design, especially after a bike lane was removed during Champlain Parkway construction. Knapp’s court date is August 27 as authorities continue their investigation. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
