Children injured in Slovenia scooter-car collision

Two children suffered injuries in Izola, Slovenia, after a collision with a car while riding an electric scooter late Tuesday evening. The 13-year-old and 7-year-old were reportedly too young to operate the electric scooter, which is designed for a single rider. They were traveling on the street without lights or functioning brakes and were not wearing helmets.

The incident occurred on Prekomorskih brigad street, where the children rode the scooter onto a pedestrian crossing. A 53-year-old female driver, from the Izola area, was approaching from Dantejeva street and struck the scooter riders with the front of her vehicle.

Police from the Koper Police Administration responded to the scene. Following their investigation, they issued a fine to the children's parents due to their failure to exercise due diligence and provide proper supervision.
