On Wednesday afternoon, 2nd April, on the Orihuela Costa, a 59-year-old man died while riding an electric scooter on Calle Baikal, close to La Florida urbanisation.
A medical team was sent to the scene after the Emergency Information and Coordination Centre (Cicu) got a report of a scooter fall.
The Urgent Medical Aid Service (Samu) staff used advanced cardiac resuscitation and other stabilisation procedures after discovering the man on the ground.
Since there was no reaction to the resuscitation attempts, the medical staff could only confirm the 59-year-old man’s death.
Accidents involving scooters
Within a week, there have been two more scooter accidents in the province. The first was a collision with a tram on line 2 in Alicante on 28th March.
Two ambulances were called to the scene of the incident, which happened close to San Vicente del Raspeig’s Outlet shopping centre.
The 32-year-old male was transported to the Alicante hospital after suffering several injuries, including a fractured leg.
Last Monday was the second accident. On the same line, a 17-year-old girl riding a scooter collided with another tram. She was bruised and taken to Sant Joan Hospital.
