Unfortunately I don’t think this is the end of these accidents. I’ve seen young kids with no helmets riding these bikes. No even old enough to get a drivers license but they were in the street
Yep, I done saw a youth riding a bi-cycle in the street myself the other day
Personally I think Johnathan Torres e-bike accident was road rage 360 life an app that the family used with each other shows one crash before the fetal cash. He was cut off the first time. And the police is doing nothing.
He told his friend he was cut off seconds no response.
