9-1-1 Trauma Responses for Electric Scooter Incidents

This report presents an analysis of 9-1-1 trauma responses related to electric scooter incidents, utilizing data from the ImageTrend biospatial platform for the year 2025. It characterizes the demographics and circumstances surrounding these incidents, noting a significant increase in emergency department visits associated with e-scooter usage. The report outlines that 31% of trauma responses occurred during the summer and fall months, with a notable concentration of incidents occurring between Friday and Sunday, particularly in the afternoon hours. The demographic data indicates a predominance of male patients, with a significant portion of individuals aged between 10 to 29 years. The report also highlights the challenges in accurately coding e-scooter related injuries, as many incidents do not utilize the specific ICD-10 code for falls from standing electric scooters. The findings aim to inform public health initiatives and enhance the understanding of e-scooter ridership patterns and associated risks.
