Met Police action needed after girl's e-scooter death, coroner says
A coroner has called on the home secretary and Met Police commissioner to take action to prevent further e-scooter fatalities after the death of a 14-year-old girl.It is illegal to ride privately owned e-scooters on public roads.
An inquest into Fatima's death found that she was riding a privately owned e-scooter on the pavement in East Ham. She then entered the road and travelled alongside a minibus before falling under its wheels. She was not wearing any safety equipment and suffered traumatic head injuries. The east London senior coroner wrote: "Whereas approximately 4,000 unlawfully used scooters were seized by the Metropolitan Police Service in 2021, only 1,100 were confiscated in 2022. The reduction is attributable to a change in policy introduced in November 2021."
