Overview
- Police in Dortmund say a 42-year-old man suffered life-threatening head injuries after falling from an e-scooter, and pedestrians found him before he was taken to a hospital.
- In the Dortmund case, officers are investigating the exact circumstances and suspect alcohol influence, with no evidence so far of another person being involved.
- Police in Ungstein report a 43-year-old rider lost control, was injured, blew 1.06‰ on a breath test, then gave a blood sample as officers seized his scooter as a preventive step.
- In Ingolstadt, officers stopped three men on e-scooters who each measured 0.5‰ on breath tests, and all now face administrative offense proceedings under Germany’s Road Traffic Act.
- Taken together, the separate cases show a pattern of late-hour e-scooter riding under the influence that draws quick checks, medical care for injuries, and formal action under traffic law.
