In late July 2026, French authorities reported a fatal scooter‑car collision near Fermanville, where a 16‑year‑old rider was killed after being struck by an overtaking vehicle. The same period saw a head‑on electric‑scooter crash in Montauban that left a 20‑year‑old with a knee injury.

A few days later, in early August, two additional minor incidents were recorded. In Calais, a scooter rider suffered a brief jaw injury when a parked driver opened a car door into her path. Near Molières, a baker who fell asleep while driving hit a tree, sustaining only minor scratches. These later reports involve less severe outcomes but continue the pattern of scooter‑related and other low‑severity traffic accidents across France.
