“The scooter then impacted a vehicle with license plate 7759AAB that was parked on the property and slammed into a light-pole on the side of the street. Both the scooter rider and the young boy suffered cuts and bruises to their bodies. They were both transported by ambulance to the Emergency Room for further treatment.
