San Diego has been a hotspot for electric scooters ever since they started taking over cities across the country.

Recently, one teenager was hurt in a scooter accident just hours after an electric scooter protest on the boardwalk.

You may have seen the protest against electric scooters on the news. You may have even participated in it. The event took place last month at the Mission Beach boardwalk to protest against the use of e-scooters and other motorized vehicles on the boardwalk itself.
Just hours after the protest took place, a teenager was injured in an e-scooter accident. The teen admitted she fell off an e-scooter she was riding with a friend.
“It’s called a boardwalk for a reason. And no motorized vehicles should ever be travelling along with it. They should be banned,” said Jonathan Freeman, one of the protesters that day. Part of the protest featured doctors who said they have seen a new wave of patients due to scooter accidents.
“We see concussions, cuts, broken bones, recently a severe neck injury. Someone almost lost their vision in their eye,” said Sports Medicine Physician, Dr. Alexandra Myers.
