A 29-year-old man is fighting for his life after a dramatic collision between his scooter and a trolley in San Diego's Logan Heights neighborhood yesterday. According to the Times of San Diego, the man was riding a 2016 Vespa scooter eastbound on Commercial Street when he lost control and crashed into the back end of a westbound trolley in the 3100 block of Commercial Street.
As Fox 5 San Diego reported, the tragic accident occurred at around 3:06 p.m., and the rider was swiftly transported to the hospital with life-threatening head injuries. Paramedics, who attended the scene, determined alcohol was not a factor in the incident. The San Diego Police Department is currently investigating the circumstances surrounding the accident.
In a report from 10 News, the unidentified 29-year-old sustained a shattered frontal cranium as a result of the impact. While the trolley tracks were closed in both directions immediately following the accident, they have since been reopened.
Following this unfortunate incident, the San Diego Police Traffic Division is urging anyone with information regarding the accident to contact them or Crime Stoppers at 888-580-8477.
