A man drove his e-scooter out of a junction while disqualified from driving - and immediately hit a car. Ryan Thomas, 19, of Pendre, Bridgend, used the scooter as a means of getting around whilst disqualified - saying he did not realise he was breaking the law as he did so.
On June 30, 2022, officers were called to a crash in Cerdin Avenue, Bridgend, and found Thomas's e-scooter had collided with a Nissan Qashqai. Footage shows Thomas pulling out of a junction at high speed and immediately colliding with the car and coming off his scooter.
Thomas' family said that he had suffered serious injuries including two skull fractures, a bleed on the brain and needed continuing therapy for his brain injury and was under the care of Morriston Hospital in Swansea.
