A crash between an illegally powered gas scooter and a vehicle on Tuesday evening in Colorado Springs injured a 14-year-old, according to an online blotter entry by police.

The child ran into the side of the vehicle as it emerged from a driveway onto Chelton Road north of Fountain Boulevard. An ambulance took the child to a local hospital for further evaluation.

The crash closed the roadway from around 5 to 5:45 p.m.

Illegal scooters have been growing in popularity across Colorado Springs despite the dangers that come along with them, police say. These scooters often lack lighting and other necessary safety features.

“If you or your child is involved in a crash, there could also be other legal and civil consequences,” the online CSPD entry states.
