Very sad.

So sad. My father had a mobility scooter. Drove like a maniac on it. We had to have it modified to slow him down after he had an accident and broke his arm. He love that freedom. So sorry for the family, but he was probably living his best life, hope that brings some comfort.

I propose that all people be vaccinated before the sre allowed to drive an e-scooter. Then all cars be banned from e-scooter areas, unless they have a booster shot

Vaccine strikes again

That's so sad the poor man. RIP sir.🙏

Elderly man dies after his electric scooter crashes into parked carsA 74-year-old man has died after his electric scooter collided with two parked cars on New Year’s Day. Condolences 💐 BTW, you have used an old picture of the gmpolice HQ as Chester House (pictured) closed & was demolished in 2012/2013. The new HQ is this one here in MilesPlatting, North Manchester. You just can't trust parked cars... For him to have a road licence (for the mobility scooter) it must travel 8mph & above. Some range upto 16mph. If he was going top speed, no wonder he died. RIP 🙏 🕊 ☮
