A boy lost his life when his electric scooter collided with a vehicle in San Javier in Murcia this morning.

The accident occurred on Puente Pozo Aledo when according to eyewitnesses, the boy cut in front of a car. He also was wearing eaphones and probably listening to music.

The minor died at the scene from a fatal blow to the head. It is not clear whether he was wearing the obligatory crash helmet for this kind of vehicle (e-scooter).

On July the 28th, a 12-year-old girl lost her life in a quad accident in Madrid and on March the 24th last year, a 12-year-old boy lost his life falling from a window in Mijas (Malaga).

Reader’s comment: “These kind of vehicles are not road worthy and should be banned altogether. A danger to everyone” – Deborah Johnson

Reader’s comment: “E-scooters give both children and adults a rapid means of transport. Unfortunately the degree of injury in an accident is dependent on the velocity squared. That means at 5Km/hr the force is 25 and at 10Km/hr it’s 100’At 15Km/hr it’s 225.” – Victor Calland
