Thousands hospitalised, hundreds killed by mobility scooter accidents

According to the data published exclusively in the Herald Sun, as many as three senior Victorians are hospitalised each week due to either crashing or being hit by a mobility scooter. More than 1,000 over-50s in the state have been rushed to the emergency department for their scooter-related injuries over the past 10 years. In more than 50 per cent of cases, the injuries sustained were so severe that patients required further hospital stays or additional treatment.
