Figures provided to Parliament show four people have been killed riding an e-scooter in the first five months of 2025 — higher than the three in 2024. There was only the one death in the same time ******* in 2023.

In March, father Cohen Tarry died from his injuries after falling off his e-scooter on Wanneroo Road, leaving behind a loving family including four-year-old twins, an eldest son and a daughter.

A 54-year-old man died after he fell from a scooter on Devenish Street in Victoria Park on April 12.

A appeal has also been launched by the family of an 11-year-old e-scooter rider who almost lost his right leg after he was hit by a car and dragged for nearly 10m in Lakelands on May 23.
