Berlin: 89-year-old from e-scooter and injured

An 89-year-old woman was victim of an accident with an e-scooter on Tuesday afternoon in Treptow-Köpenick. The accident occurred in Kiefholzstraße when the elderly woman was waiting for her bus at a replacement bus stop. The driver of the e-scooter caught the woman and then drove on after stopping briefly.

e-scooter have been found more and more in German cities for several years. They are practical and environmentally friendly, but can also bring dangers with them, especially if they are used improperly. It is therefore important that all road users, including e-scooter drivers, observe the traffic rules and have the security of everyone in mind.

The exact circumstances of the accident are currently being examined by the police. It is to be hoped that those responsible can be determined quickly and the 89-year-old woman will soon be well.

accidents with e-scooters are unfortunately not an isolated case. Again and again there are clashes with pedestrians or other road users. In order to reduce such accidents, e-scooter drivers should always drive carefully, take pedestrians into account and adapt their speed to the circumstances.

The authorities are also required to take measures to increase road safety. A possible option would be a better infrastructure for e-scooters, such as your own bike paths. In addition, the penalties in the event of violations of the traffic rules should be tightened in order to achieve a deterrent effect.

As long as no concrete measures are taken, responsibility lies with each individual. Every road user can help avoid accidents by adhering to the rules and is aware.

In this case, we hope that the police can quickly determine the driver of the e-scooter and the 89-year-old woman will soon get well again. It is important that such accidents are not simply accepted as part of road traffic, but that the polluters are held accountable. This is the only way to ensure security for all road users.
