79-year-old woman in hospital after being knocked down by a scooter
Palma police say that barely a day passes without there being an accident involving an electric scooter. Some accidents are serious - a 17-year-old was badly injured on Wednesday when he went through a red light and was knocked down. The day before, 79-year-old Daniela was knocked down on a pedestrian crossing. She lost consciousness and was admitted to the Clinica Rotger (close to the scene of the accident) with fractures to an arm and to the face. Doctors have yet to decide if she will need an operation.

These electric scooters are silent and deadly. Their users have no regard for pedestrians or other road users, and they are largely unregulated on our roads. Someone needs to get a grip.
This is unacceptable! All scooters should be Licensed and more police should be out on the roads checking for reckless drivers..this needs to stop now!
