Electric scooter crashes

This is the second crash in less than two weeks involving a child on an electric scooter.

On Aug. 18, a 10-year-old girl was taken to the hospital after being hit while riding an electric scooter. Preliminary investigation indicated the 10-year-old girl riding an electric scooter entered the intersection after failing to stop at a stop sign and was struck by a motor vehicle.
