Police are looking for a young boy in connection with an e-scooter crash outside a KFC in Swindon.

A woman suffered serious injuries and police are now looking for a young boy pictured riding an e-scooter.

The crash took place at around 12.45pm on Tuesday, July 30 on Cricklade Road outside KFC. 

A Wiltshire Police spokesperson said: “A woman in her 40s suffered serious injuries.

“If you recognise this boy, please contact us on 101 quoting reference 54240089970.”

The law says: “It is an offence to use powered transporters on the pavement. By section 72, Highway Act 1835 it is an offence to ride on, or to lead or draw a carriage on a pavement. 

“This rule applies almost all vehicles, with special legal exceptions for mobility scooters and wheelchairs.

“In addition, powered transporters are forbidden from using footpaths. A footpath is a public right of way over land which may only be used on foot (as opposed to a bridleway or a carriageway). 

“Mechanically-propelled vehicles are forbidden from using footpaths by section 34 Road Traffic Act 1988.”
