Man suffers head injury in e-scooter crash, Surfers Paradise
A man’s been hospitalised after a nasty crash involving an e-scooter on the Gold Coast overnight.
Emergency services were called to Surfers Paradise Boulevard in Surfers Paradise just after 9.00pm.
The scooter rider had come off his vehicle and suffered a head injury.
Paramedics briefly assessed him at the scene, before taking him to hospital for further treatment.
He’s understood to be in a stable condition at the Gold Coast University Hospital.
No other injuries were reported.
For years I’ve wondered how these vehicles, where most are operated by a certain age group with health problems, should be exempt from wearing helmets?
