San Diego Boy Hospitalized After San Marcos Scooter Crash
A 12-year-old San Diego County boy ran a stop sign while riding a scooter, which resulted in a minivan vs. scooter accident in San Marcos, producing devastating results. A sheriff's deputy reported that the boy was airlifted to San Diego's Rady's Children's Hospital for treatment.
The boy had been riding the popular Razor scooter along with two other boys on Pommel Way southbound at 7:45 p.m. on July 25, 2009, when they went through a stop sign at Palomarcos Avenue, and he collided with a minivan that was crossing through the intersection at the time. The driver of the minivan had attempted to avoid collision, swerving and successfully missing the first two boys, but struck the third, inducing a serious head injury and possible traumatic brain injury (TBI) to him.
Though the fault for causing these types of accidents is not always easy to point to, one can never be too cautious while on the road. In a city dominated by cars and motor vehicles, many Californians assume that those vehicles are the only things on the road. But many still walk, jog, bike, and ride scooters on the streets and a driver should always be prepared to encounter one at any turn.
