A 14-year-old girl has died after a crash involving a van while riding an e-scooter in east London. The teenager died of her injuries at the scene, according to the Metropolitan police. London ambulance service paramedics had tried to treat her following the collision in Green Street, Newham. Officers were called out to reports of the crash at about 1.35pm on Monday and the Met has since launched an investigation. A spokesperson said: “The Met is investigating the incident and the van driver is with police, but he has not been arrested.” Road closures were in place around the scene throughout Monday afternoon. The Met is urging any witnesses to the crash or anyone else with information to contact them on 101. Earlier this year a 74-year-old man died after his e-scooter collided with two parked cars, while in July 2021 a three-year-old girl sustained “life-changing” injuries after being hit by an e-scooter.
