Two children, ages 5 and 16, riding an e-scooter south of Everett collided with a car Friday afternoon, leaving the 5-year-old with life-threatening injuries and the teen with serious injuries.
Snohomish County sheriff’s deputies responded to the collision around 2:20 p.m. Friday in the 600 block of Center Road, according to a news release. The children were riding an e-scooter when they collided with a vehicle traveling east.
The driver and two young children in the vehicle suffered minor injuries. The 5-year-old, the 16-year-old, and the driver were taken to Providence Regional Medical Center Everett. No one at the hospital could be reached Saturday to give an update on patient conditions.
Detectives with the Collision Investigation Unit were investigating the collision.
TV news reports showed a vehicle flipped upside down by trees near an apartment complex.
Earlier this year, a teenage boy died days after an e-bike collision with a Toyota Camry south of Everett, at the intersection of 184th Street Southeast and 36th Avenue Southeast, according to The (Everett) Herald. He was 14. And last year another boy, 13, suffered fatal injuries when the e-bike he was riding struck a braided cable hanging from a city bollard in South Everett.
