Teen on e-bike hit by car in Milford, collision recorded on video

Milford police are expressing worries about a series of e-bike accidents that occurred in the town recently. In one incident, a teenage boy is now facing charges after disregarding a red light, colliding with a car at an intersection on Main Street, and fortunately escaping without injury even though the car ran over his e-bike. The police chief highlighted the seriousness of the situation, emphasizing that the outcome could have been much more tragic. This incident underscores the escalating problem of e-bike accidents, with two additional incidents occurring on the same day. The police stress the importance of following Massachusetts laws for riding e-bikes, such as being at least 16 years old, wearing a helmet, and not exceeding 25 miles per hour. Parents are urged to have conversations with their children about the risks associated with riding e-bikes recklessly.
