Surveillance captures minors operating electric scooters in Hünfelden over a decade old
In a regrettable incident, a 10-year-old child was injured in an accident involving an e-scooter in the Limburg-Weilburg district. The accident occurred in Hünfelden-Kirberg, but not on a main road.
The child was attempting to cross a main street when the accident happened. Unfortunately, the driver of a VW Bora, a 60-year-old man from the Limburg-Weilburg district, did not notice the child in time and collided with the e-scooter. As a result, the child's legs got caught under the car, causing injuries.
The police are currently investigating the accident. The driver of the car has not been identified, but it is known that he was driving a VW Bora. It is important to note that the child was not operating the e-scooter at the time of the accident.
This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of pedestrian safety. The minimum age for operating a driver's license-free e-scooter in public areas is still 14 years old, although the child involved was not operating the e-scooter at the time of the accident. The police have emphasized the need for drivers to be vigilant and to always look out for pedestrians, especially children.
The child was taken to a hospital by an ambulance, but the current condition of the child is not specified. Our thoughts are with the child and their family during this difficult time.
The police are urging witnesses to come forward with any information they may have about the accident. It is crucial that everyone does their part to ensure the safety of all road users, especially children. Let us hope that this incident will lead to increased awareness and a renewed commitment to pedestrian safety in our communities.
