Story summary

A 33-year-old e-bike rider died after being hit by a car driven by a 28-year-old man on Chatsworth Road in Coorparoo, Brisbane, around 6:30 pm on Wednesday. The rider was taken to Princess Alexandra Hospital but later pronounced dead. Police are investigating the crash and appealing for public footage of the incident or its lead-up. This is the second death involving e-mobility devices since Queensland introduced stricter laws aimed at improving rider safety last month, following a fatal e-scooter accident that claimed the life of a 13-year-old boy who was not wearing a helmet. The new regulations restrict riding e-bikes and scooters to individuals over 16 years old with valid driver’s licenses, marking a first in Australia.
