E-Scooter Rider Remains Critical After July Fourth Crash In Trenton (Update)

"He is still intubated and critical," Detective Lieutenant Lisette Rios, a Trenton police spokeswoman, said on Monday morning, July 8.

The driver of the car that collided with the scooter was not found at fault, Rios said.

At approximately 9:50 p.m. on July 4, Trenton police received a call about a collision with injuries at the intersection of Division Street and S. Clinton Avenue, they said.

"Patrol Bureau officers responded to the scene and observed an older juvenile victim in the roadway, injured and unresponsive," police said in a statement.

The victim was taken to Capital Health Regional Medical Center with serious injuries and was unresponsive, police said.

Trenton Police Department detective Vishan Singh and the Mercer County Prosecutor's Office Serious Collision Response Team were notified and responded.

They discovered the victim was riding a Razor scooter on S. Clinton Avenue, toward Chestnut Avenue, when it struck a Toyota Sienna that was on Division St. heading toward S. Broad St.

"The driver of the vehicle was found not to be at fault. The driver of the electric scooter struck the vehicle after it had stopped at the intersection and proceeded through," Rios said on Monday.

Singh will continue the investigation with the assistance of the Serious Collision Response Team, police said.
