A witness to a fatal Auckland Lime e-scooter crash says he believes the front wheel may have locked up sending the victim flying over the handlebars. There has been a numerous of deaths and injuries from these Lime Scooters.
Researchers in Santa Monica found out that Lime Scooter injuries landed people in the hospital for about fifty more times than bike accidents in the same year.
A 23 year old man died on the weekend after falling off a Lime scooter in downtown Auckland on Monday.
The death is believed to be the first ever from a Lime Scooter in New Zealand. In February Lime scooters were pulled from the streets of Auckland and Dunedin amid ongoing concerns about their safety, including reports of front wheels locking.
The man was rushed to Auckland hospital as quickly as possible and was in a critical condition after the incident. I strongly believe that we should stop the Lime Scooters before more people will end up in the hospital.
