Electric Mobility Scooter Accidents on our Roads
Having only recently posted about concerns regarding health and safety with the increased number of electric scooter users; I note today yet more news reporting scooter accidents.
An elderly lady in Kent, UK is fighting for her life after being hit by a delivery truck. The Kent Police have released limited news about the incident so far, just that the road concerned has been closed to motorists and the lady has been air-lifted to a London hospital.
Another 74 year old senior lady in Scotland was left traumatized after being hit by a council street-cleaning truck whilst out on her mobility scooter in Edinburgh. She was forced off the sidewalk and onto the road as a delivery truck was obstructing the sidewalk.
Clearly incidents such as these will continue to afflict our aging and inform electric scooter users as their numbers increase.
If you are an electric scooter user and wish to share your experiences, then please add your comments.
