A serious accident occurred in Corfu when a 14-year-old boy fell from his electric scooter, resulting in a head injury that required immediate medical attention. Initially treated at the local hospital, doctors discovered an epidural hematoma, leading to an urgent surgical intervention. Subsequently, the boy was transported by air ambulance to the ICU of the "Agia Sofia" children's hospital in Athens, where he is currently under intubation.

Witness accounts indicate that the accident happened while the boy was playing with friends near the city. He lost control of the scooter and fell, suffering the impact on his head despite wearing a helmet. According to his father, there were no vehicles or other individuals involved in the incident, highlighting that the accident was purely an unfortunate mishap while the boy was playing outside. Medical professionals stated that they will keep him sedated for further observation.

The case raises concerns about child safety during recreational activities, particularly with the increasing popularity of electric scooters among young individuals. As similar incidents can lead to severe injuries, it emphasizes the importance of supervision and safety measures for children using such devices. The community and local authorities may need to evaluate the safety protocols and guidelines surrounding the usage of electric scooters to prevent future accidents.
