A man has been critically injured after falling from an e-scooter on a main road in Nottingham.
Nottinghamshire Police said it happened shortly after 20:00 BST on Thursday in Carlton Road.
The road was partially closed at the junction with Seymour Street, near Lidl, and reopened shortly before 06:00 on Friday.
The man, in his 40s, was taken to hospital, where he remains in a critical condition.
Det Con Liah Lane, of Nottinghamshire Police’s serious collision investigation unit, said the force does not believe the e-scooter was involved in a collision with another vehicle, but are continuing to investigate the incident.
“This incident happened on a busy road and will have been witnessed by other people," she said
“If you saw what happened and have yet to get in contact with us, please do not assume that others have already told us what you saw.
“I would also like to thank the members of the public who came to the injured man’s aid and stayed with him until emergency services arrived."
