ELECTRIC SCOOTER HIT BY CAR – BE CAREFUL OUT THERE
A University of Minnesota student recently posted this video on the university sub-Reddit. The video shows the student riding an electric scooter on University Avenue Southeast and 17th Avenue Southeast.He was near campus without the right of way when a car hit him on his scooter.The student acknowledges in the post’s comments that he was responsible for the crash. Fortunately, neither the scooter nor car were damaged in the accident. ‘As I was going down University Ave in the right bike lane, I had a slight thought in my head that I could make it across the intersection and onto the sidewalk of 17th Ave.’Fortunately, he wasn’t seriously injured.
When asked for comment by WCCO news, a university spokesperson referred to campus rules for electric scooter use. The rules include using available bike lanes and obeying traffic laws. This is a good reminder for everyone riding a scooter to be respectful of the driving conditions on busy roads.It is dangerous enough as it is with so many distracted drivers on the road.
