A 15-year-old girl was hospitalized in Ciechanów after sustaining head and shoulder injuries in a fall from an electric scooter. Local police are investigating the incident.
Preliminary Findings
According to initial investigations, the teenager likely hit a stone, lost balance, and fell onto the handlebars, injuring her head and shoulder. She was transported to the hospital in Ciechanów for treatment. Mław police are determining the exact causes and circumstances of the accident.
Legal and Safety Requirements
Authorities remind that electric scooters are not toys but vehicles requiring compliance with traffic regulations. Operators under 18 must hold specific permits, such as a bicycle card or a license in category AM, A1, B1, or T. Parental supervision is also critical, as parents should ensure minors use such devices only under safe conditions and on appropriate roads.
Local Safety Campaign
Today (25.08), across the entire Mazovian garrison area, the “e-HULAJNOGA, e-ROWER – LOKALNIE” campaign is underway. Police are conducting checks and educational activities to enhance safety for electric scooter users and reinforce road rule compliance.
