Description

New data from the Oregon Health Authority shows e-scooter injuries treated in hospitals and emergency departments have more than doubled in recent years as the devices become a bigger part of how people get around. A young man rides an electric scooter along the Willamette River in downtown Portland on Monday, June 9, 2025.
