I saw this in a local publication in Austin, Texas: "Uno no puede viajar por la ciudad de Austin sin en algu'n momento atropezar con un edificio o una persona que se ha beneficiado de la generosidad de Teresa Long."

"Tropezar " is also to stumble. This is the a common use for it too. Deanski is 100% right in your context though.

I think it meant "tropezar con," which is "to come up against".
