Mounties issue safety reminder after e-scooter collision in Mission
MISSION — Scooter season is slowly rolling in– and so are the crashes.
At around 5:30 pm on February 26th, Mission RCMP said a car struck an 18-year-old e-scooter rider at the intersection of 11th Avenue and Taulbut Street.
The young man– who was not wearing a helmet– reportedly rode into the intersection without stopping, and the passing car couldn’t stop in time either. Although he wasn’t seriously injured, he was transported to hospital due to concussion-like symptoms.
Initial findings show that the car was not speeding, but the investigation is still ongoing.
