"Juan Quishpe was riding a 2024 Cleytro stand-up electric scooter when he struck a concrete barrier, resulting in severe head trauma and his subsequent death at the hospital."
"City Hall has initiated new efforts to address micromobility risks, including the establishment of the Department of Sustainable Delivery to enforce regulations on illegal e-scooters and a proposed speed limit."
"Residents and street safety advocates have attributed the rise in fatal scooter crashes to rough pavement, increased delivery traffic, and the growing power of private e-scooters."
Juan Quishpe, 42, died after crashing his electric scooter into a concrete barrier near Jamaica Avenue and Cypress Hills Street. He suffered severe head trauma and was pronounced dead at One Brooklyn Health-Brookdale Hospital Medical Center. The NYPD's Collision Investigation Squad is investigating the incident. Fatal scooter crashes have increased in the city, prompting city officials to implement new safety measures, including a proposed speed cap for e-scooters and enhanced enforcement against illegal micromobility devices.
