Dorienne Boykin , a spokeswoman with the Chesapeake Police Department, said the child appeared to have “maneuvered in front of a vehicle that was traveling eastbound on Ohio Street.”
The car hit the motor scooter causing the rider to fall off.
“The child sustained a possible broken leg and minor abrasions. This accident is currently under investigation,” said Boykin.
As experienced children’s accident injury lawyers in Chesapeake, we are relieved this child’s injuries were not more serious.
Operating motor scooters on highways can cause a dangerous situation, particularly when the rider is an inexperienced child.
