Scooter-Related Crashes Involving Teens in New York
As electric scooters become more common in urban neighborhoods, so do collisions involving young riders. Intersections like E Beard Ave and S State St are especially risky due to cross-traffic, driver blind spots, and differences in vehicle size and speed. Even a minor impact between a car and a scooter can result in serious injuries, particularly for younger riders.
New York safety officials continue working to promote awareness and rider protection through helmet laws, road-sharing education, and safer infrastructure design. Still, driver attentiveness remains the most effective defense against pedestrian and scooter-related accidents.
