The number of people killed in e-scooter crashes has tripled in the last year, new figures have revealed.

The figure is three times higher than for the same period in 2021, when four people died.
Meanwhile, the number of people seriously injured by or when using e-scooters has almost doubled over the last year, up from 228 in 2021's figures to 429 in 2022.

The family of a 12-year-old boy who died in an e-scooter crash on his way to school have called for e-scooter trial schemes to be banned until major safety changes are made.
Mustafa Nadeem is believed to have been riding an e-scooter when he collided with a bus in Bordesley Green earlier this month (6 December).
He was confirmed dead at the scene.
His father, Nadeem Khan, said: “We want to stop these scooters because I lost my son. I don’t want anybody else to lose their son or daughter.
"So that’s why we want to stop these scooters because they don’t have safety."
Just days after his father buried him, he’s still haunted by the day he found out he’d lost his son.
