E-scooter crash
Car collides with e-scooter: Twelve-year-old girl killed
Tragic death in Oberndorf (Lower Austria): A 12-year-old girl was riding an e-scooter with a friend on Wednesday evening when a collision occurred with a car at an intersection. Help arrived too late—the girl succumbed to her severe injuries.
Shock in the Scheibbs district following yet another serious e-scooter accident. According to police, the car collided with the e-scooter the two girls were riding at an intersection. Both were thrown to the ground by the violent impact.
One of the friends was seriously injured; for the second, the emergency responders, who were alerted quickly, could do nothing more: the 12-year-old succumbed to her serious injuries. How the collision occurred has not yet been fully clarified.
The seriously injured girl was flown to a hospital in Linz by emergency helicopter, police said in response to an inquiry. The car driver was apparently not injured in the collision, reported ORF Lower Austria.
Man fell at a roundabout and died
Just last Tuesday, a serious accident also occurred in Villach (Carinthia) involving an e-scooter rider who was on his way to work. A moment of inattention was enough: Presumably due to a driving error, the man fell at the roundabout and lay seriously injured on the road. He was taken to the hospital, where he died from his severe injuries. A tragic detail: If the man had been wearing a helmet, his life might have been saved, according to a response to a “Krone” inquiry.
Riding without a helmet: Accident with fatal consequences
An equally dramatic accident involving two 14-year-old girls had already occurred last August in Upper Austria—many questions remained unanswered afterward. At the time, the two friends were riding an e-scooter when they collided sideways with a car. The girl of Italian descent died; the second is believed to still be in a coma.
These tragic cases show how quickly e-scooter accidents can result in serious injury or death. The two teenage girls were also not wearing helmets at the time. It is not yet known whether a helmet was worn in the current case in Lower Austria.
