Frequently Asked Questions
How does speed affect the severity of a crash like this?
Higher speeds give drivers less time to react and increase the force of impact, which usually means more serious injuries for anyone on a scooter or motorcycle involved in a collision with a larger vehicle.
Why is distracted driving a particular risk in crashes involving scooters?
Scooters are smaller and harder to spot than cars, so a driver who is distracted, even briefly, has less chance of noticing a scooter rider in time to avoid a crash.
What should someone do immediately after a crash involving a scooter?
Call 911, move to safety if possible, avoid moving anyone who may be seriously hurt, and wait for police and EMS to arrive and document the scene.
