  Speaker 2: you've had an incredibly busy weekend. Let's take a look

  Speaker 2: at Friday night. To begin with, a fifty two year
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: old female fell off an e scooter at the Darwin Waterfront.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so Cruise responded to that report around nine point
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: thirty pm. Unfortunately the writer wasn't wearing a helmet and
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: as a results, you've received quite serious head injuries. She
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: was treated and transported through to Ardie Hayks in a
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: serious condition. And then later that night, just after midnight
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: on Mitchell Street and on CBG, a fifty year old
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: male was also riding in the scooter and look like
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: he wasn't wearing a helmet. Eider, He's fallen off and
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: received some head injuries. He was treated on scene by
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: paramedics and he's refused treatment author transport, I should say
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: through to hospital. It looks like he might have made
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: his own way there. So yeah, look at a number
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: of incidents going to these scooters. Again, if if you're
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: not wearing a helmet, if you are intoxicated, they're a recipute.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: That it after Yeah, it seems that way, and you know,
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: I guess we've had a bit of discussion on the
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: show with the with the Lord Mayor and others about
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: whether we need to be looking at at there being
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: times of the day where the scooters sort of aren't
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: able to be used if people are sort of getting
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: behind the I don't even know whether you call it
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: the wheel or what you'd call it, but when they're
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: intoxicated or you know, if they're not wearing helmets as well.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: Yea, it's a difficult one obviously. You know, I've been
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: on the scourgy for I thin they're a brilliant way
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: to scoot around and see the city and obviously are
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: a lot of fun. But you know, only if you
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: are taking the appropriate safety steps, so you've got your
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: helmet on. You know, you're writing to conditions and you're
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: not writing if you are intoxicated because obviously they have
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: the potential to be dangerous if you do fall off
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: onto her card services. So yeah, it's a difficult one.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure what the you know, what the solution
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: is there. I think christ education would encourage education and
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: encourage caution from everyone. When you're out about.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: Andrew, just on the incident at the Darwin Waterfront with
• 2:16

• 2:31
  Speaker 1: are with her and her family at the moment.

  Speaker 2: Absolutely hopefully they both make a very speedy recovery. On Saturday,
• 2:38

• 2:42
  Speaker 2: into a tree. What happened here, Yeah, at.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: About eleven pm. Obviously a car hit a tree as
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: you spoken, and it actually rolled three times as a

• 3:48
  Speaker 1: by a vehicle, especially a fifteen year old voice, So
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: that could have been really naster to Thankfully, he's just
• 3:53

  Speaker 2: sort of see that situation unfold.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, look, I don't have all the details in front
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: of us, so I'm not exactly sure what went on,

  Speaker 1: just encourage everyone to be really cautious. Look out, you know,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: if you're a road lood, use of sorry, lookout for
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: anyone who may be on the road or around the road.

• 4:29
  Speaker 1: one minute think they're doing the right thing, next minute
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: they're crossing the road out of nowhere. But that's you know,
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: I think the message we can take from that is
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: just to be very cautious or road uses, especially around
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: children and school at the moment as well, and by
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: the sounds of it, so incredibly lucky that he had
• 4:45
