Fresno Police urge e-scooter safety as collisions riseFRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- With electric scooters appearing more frequently on city streets and near campuses, Fresno police are renewing warnings to riders about safety after dozens of scooter-related crashes last year. Fresno Police Department Sergeant Todd Turney said officers responded to 36 collisions involving scooters in 2024, many of them near school zones. Police determined that scooter riders were at fault in about 75 percent of those crashes. "If parents out there have a young one that's riding the scooter, we want them to speak to them about scooter safety," he said. Officers also emphasized that scooter riders can be cited if they are found at fault in a collision.
