The New York Post reports a new study of emergency rooms found that most e-scooter injuries occur on sidewalks. Insurance Institute for Highway Safety researchers “interviewed 103 e-scooter riders who sought care at Washington, D.C.’s George Washington University Medical Center over eight months in 2019, and found 58 percent had been injured on the sidewalk.” Only 13 percent of e-scooter riders surveyed “said they were injured in a collision with a car, truck, or bus, according to the study published Thursday.”
