Shocking footage from the island of Vir shows a dangerous e-scooter ride that ended in a collision with a pedestrian. A similar case of reckless riding was recorded in Marina, where a foreign teenager sped at 50 km/h.
Disturbing footage has surfaced on social media showing a minor recklessly riding an electric scooter on a busy road on the island of Vir, ultimately crashing into a pedestrian. The incident has sparked outrage among local residents, who are demanding an immediate response and stricter controls from the authorities.
According to information from the portal 023.hr, which was contacted by readers from Vir, the dangerous ride occurred on Borisa Krnčevića Street, one of the busiest on the island. The scooter rider was heading towards the intersection with Virski put and Stari put streets, committing a series of serious traffic violations along the way. He weaved between cars, overtook vehicles on both the left and right sides of the road, and crossed over solid lines.
The reckless behavior culminated when the scooter, at full speed, slammed into a pedestrian, which is clearly visible and audible in the video spreading across the internet. The 023.hr newsroom received an outraged message from citizens demanding concrete action.
As a reputable media outlet, I would ask you to share this video with the public and to issue a public call and criticism to all users of electric scooters to be cautious and careful when operating these vehicles, especially when it comes to children and their parents, as another child recently lost their life near Velika Gorica. Additionally, I ask you to urge the police to more strictly monitor e-scooter riders on our island, as this case is not isolated.
Almost simultaneously, the portal Slobodna Dalmacija published a story about another case of dangerous riding. A foreign minor spent days recklessly riding an electric scooter through the streets of Marina, filming his own stunts and posting them on social media. His riding, aimed at collecting likes, included speeding through the town and surrounding roads at speeds of up to 50 kilometers per hour.
Portal 023.hr reminds that they have written about the issue of electric scooters multiple times and have relayed police appeals, but so far without visible effect. Citizens from Vir, in their message, specifically appeal to parents to pay attention to how their children operate these vehicles, recalling the recent tragic case near Velika Gorica.
