ONE electronic scooter incident every two days is resulting in hospitalisation.
The new devices that were unleashed onto the footpaths of Canberra in September have seen more than 60 people injured so seriously they needed to be treated at an emergency department.
The data from Canberra Health Services has highlighted the dangers of the e-scooters where anecdotal evidence suggest that a number of the incidents occurred involving alcohol.
Police were also believed to attend emergency departments at Canberra’s two hospitals to conduct breathalyser tests on some of the admissions.
The data collection does not suggest the cause but the type of injury or illness.
