Löhner loses control of e-scooter

(jd) A traffic accident occurred on Südbahnstraße at around 9.07 p.m. on Saturday (21.9.). A 34-year-old man from Löhn and his 44-year-old passenger from Berlin were riding an e-scooter in the direction of Adalbert-Stifter-Straße. While attempting to brake, which presumably failed due to the e-scooter exceeding its maximum load, the man from Löhn lost control of his vehicle. Both men then fell to the ground, with the man from Löhn sustaining serious injuries and the man from Berlin sustaining minor injuries. Both were taken to hospital for further treatment by ambulance. As the 34-year-old showed signs of narcotics consumption, the police officers who arrived at the scene carried out a corresponding test. As this was positive, a blood sample was later taken at the hospital. The officers confiscated the e-scooter, which had no liability insurance. The material damage is in the three-digit range.
