LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — A man sustained life-threatening injuries in an e-scooter accident in downtown Las Vegas early Friday morning.
The incident occurred around 2:30 a.m. near North Casino Center Boulevard and East Ogden Avenue, according to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department.
Authorities reported that the e-scooter rider made a wide right turn from Ogden onto northbound Casino Center. In an attempt to avoid a curb, the rider overcorrected, veering right and then left, ultimately hitting a raised median. This resulted in the rider being thrown from the scooter onto the roadway.
The individual was transported to UMC Trauma Center with critical injuries. The LVMPD’s Collision Investigation Section is handling the ongoing investigation. Further details will be provided as they become available.
