E-Scooter Injuries Surge Among Kids
Description
E-scooter injuries surge in Surrey, with young riders often suffering severe damage. Despite being illegal for under-sixteens outside pilot communities, kids continue to ride on streets and sidewalks. Hospitals report broken bones, concussions, and worse, with boys aged eleven to fifteen being the most affected. Warmer weather brings more incidents, including unsafe speeds and no helmets. A recent crash in North Burnaby left a nine-year-old girl and an eleven-year-old boy seriously injured. Parents, educators, and law enforcement urge awareness, helmet use, and slower speeds to prevent tragedies.
