A 77-year-old man was killed after being hit by a Lime electric scooter in San Francisco while crossing Market Street. The man died from his injuries at the hospital, but the scooter rider remained at the scene and was not charged. Traffic safety groups noted the increasing number of traffic-related fatalities, with 42 deaths reported last year, including 24 pedestrians. Advocates call for improved street designs and better education for electric scooter users to enhance pedestrian safety.
"Most of all, we need streets to be designed and enforced to support safe behavior and protect our most vulnerable. This tragedy shows how far San Francisco has to go with traffic safety and why it needs to be a priority for city leaders."
"Many people using electric scooters in the city are unaware of the rules of the road and more needs to be done to educate them."
