Durham Police Seek Help to Identify Victim in Harrowing E-Scooter Accident

Durham authorities are seeking help to identify a man involved in an e-scooter accident.

Emergency responders rushed to Kitney Drive near Clements Road West following reports of a solo e-scooter crash at approximately 3:15 p.m.

The man was traveling north on the road’s east side when he lost control, leading to a fall that resulted in a severe head injury due to not wearing a helmet.

He was taken to a local hospital in critical condition and later airlifted to a Toronto trauma center, where he remains unconscious and in a critical state.

As the man had no identification, law enforcement is striving to establish his identity. Described as a white male aged between 45 and 60, around six feet tall, weighing about 220 pounds, with a bald head and a scruffy gray beard.

He was dressed in dark green corduroy shorts, prescription glasses, a worn black baseball cap bearing the label “Pinewood Toronto Studios,” and black Reebok sneakers with white soles and red accents.

The e-scooter involved in the incident was identified as a Segway Ninebot Kick Scooter Max G2.

Authorities are urging anyone with information about the man’s identity to come forward and assist the ongoing investigation.
