A 14-year-old was riding a scooter with his 11-year-old passenger behind him, Friday, April 22 around 4 p.m., when they collided with a car, avenue Hippolyte-Gourdon, in Lormont. The two young people were very seriously injured in the accident and hospitalized at CHU Pellegrin. The driver of the car is not injured but in shock.
According to Southwest, neither teenager was wearing a helmet. It is unclear whether or not the scooter rider was in possession of the BSR (which can be obtained from the age of 14 and is required to drive a scooter).
