(COLDWATER) - A 14-year-old boy was hospitalized Sunday evening after riding an electric scooter into the side of a vehicle at a downtown Coldwater intersection.
Police say the crash happened around 5:30 p.m. at West Chicago and Hanchett streets. Investigators report the teen was traveling west on the sidewalk and attempted to cross Hanchett Street against a "Don't Walk" signal and a red light for Chicago Street traffic.
As he entered the intersection, the scooter struck a 2023 Chevy Blazer driven by a 25-year-old Quincy woman who was turning right onto westbound Chicago Street on a green signal.
Emergency crews transported the teen to Insight Hospital and Medical Center with a possible hip injury.
Coldwater Police, assisted by the Coldwater Fire Department and Michigan State Police, responded to the scene.
