CCTV shows moment grandmother knocked to ground by e-scooter rider
A grandmother has described the shocking moment an e-scooter crashed into her outside her home, leaving her badly injured.
CCTV from Shirley Smith’s home in Northamptonshire captured the moment she was hit by the e-scooter on 9 April.
Mrs Smith was left with bad bruising all over her body and is still seeking medical treatment.
Appearing on Good Morning Britain on Friday (19 April), Mrs Smith said: “It literally came from nowhere and ran into me.
“It just happened so quickly.”
Mrs Smith and her husband Mike are now calling for harsher punishments for e-scooter riders breaking the law.
Northamptonshire Police said they were investigating the collision but nobody has yet been arrested.
