Driver overlooked him

13-year-old injured in accident with e-scooter

A 13-year-old e-scooter rider crashed into a car in St. Stefan ob Stainz on Friday afternoon. He wanted to cross the safety path and a car driver probably overlooked him. The boy is injured.

According to the police, the 13-year-old from the Deutschlandsberg district was riding his e-scooter on the sidewalk towards the center of St. Stefan. At around 4.10 p.m., he wanted to cross the road at the safety path there. However, a 45-year-old car driver from the Graz-Umgebung district, who was also driving towards the town center, probably overlooked the boy - the 13-year-old was thrown to the ground and injured to an indeterminate degree. He was transported to Graz Regional Hospital by rescue helicopter.
