E-Scooter Crash Sparks Safety Alerts

A teen e-scooter rider in Nanaimo got clipped by a van during a right turn, suffering minor injuries and two tickets—no helmet and underage riding. The van driver also got cited for failing to yield. Authorities are sounding the alarm: helmets required, max speed 25 km/h, and drivers must watch for riders at intersections. Similar crashes this week in Maple Ridge and Burnaby left teens seriously hurt, highlighting a province-wide safety crisis as e-scooters and e-bikes surge in popularity.
