A cyclist and e-scooter rider both ended up in hospital with serious injuries after crashing on a cycle lane in Roedean.
Police today appealed for witnesses to the crash, which happened at about 9.40pm on Wednesday, September 11 in Marine Drive at the junction of Roedean Road.
Anyone who witnessed the collision or has dash cam footage is asked to contact police by emailing collision.appeal@sussex.police.uk, using the police online reporting form, or by calling 101 quoting reference 461 of 12/09.
Considering this is a shared pedestrian-cycle lane and that the eScooter is illegal to be used on any public roads, I hope the scooter rider is found to be at fault, is charged with several offences, and has his machine scrapped.
Let’s also hope that both riders fully recover from this totally unnecessarily collision.
And what will your thoughts be if the cyclist is found to be at fault?
There’s nothing like having an open mind until the facts are known…..
