A 39-year-old man riding an e-scooter sustained serious injuries following a collision with a police vehicle on Margaretengürtel in Vienna. Emergency services, including the Christophorus 9 helicopter, were dispatched to the scene to transport him to a hospital. Fortunately, authorities have confirmed that the man is not in life-threatening condition.

According to police spokesperson Anna Gutt, the incident occurred during an operational response by a police patrol. The details surrounding the circumstances of the collision remain unclear as the investigation is ongoing.

The injured man reportedly suffered significant head injuries, including lacerations, as well as a pneumothorax, commonly known as a collapsed lung. The police accident investigation team was present at the scene to gather evidence and determine the specifics of the event.

This incident highlights ongoing concerns regarding the safety of e-scooter riders in urban environments, particularly in areas with heavy traffic and police presence.
