The scooter rider who was not wearing a helmet at the time was joining the RN7 when he collided with an oncoming vehicle. The impact threw the rider clear of his machine but he was then struck by a vehicle coming in the opposite direction.
The 19-year old scooter rider was first transported to the Louis Constant Fleming Hospital. A passenger in the car that collided with the scooter was also slightly injured. The drivers of both cars were unharmed.
An inquiry into the accident has been opened. The Gendarmerie reminded that the victims injuries could have been less if he had been wearing a helmet.
