Two young brothers are lucky to be alive after a terrifying accident involving a rented electric scooter.
The boys, aged just 16 and 12, had completed training and decided to test out their scooter ride. But their adventure took a dangerous turn when they exited the courtyard on Gavrilov Street and slammed directly into a VAZ car.
Miraculously, both boys survived the crash. Doctors examined them and confirmed they only required outpatient treatment, avoiding what could have been a far more tragic outcome.
Authorities are now investigating how the children gained access to the scooter rental service and whether their parents were aware of their registered account. Officials are also reviewing how the children were supervised and whether they had sufficient knowledge of traffic rules before venturing onto the road.
This shocking incident has sparked serious questions about e-scooter safety, parental responsibility, and whether stricter rules are needed to protect underage riders.
