Police are warning and reminding parents, along with e-bike and e-scooter riders, after a crash earlier this week in Bethel Park.<\/p>\n
The borough’s police department posted on Facebook<\/a>\u00a0Tuesday afternoon, saying Monday evening, a juvenile was going at high speed on an e-bike. His friend was on an e-motorcycle.<\/p>\n Police say both were not following the traffic laws and that they did not stop at a stop sign.<\/p>\n The e-biker hit the side of a car that had the right of way, police said.<\/p>\n Bob Brown, who goes to a gym in Bethel Park, heard about the incident on the news Thursday morning.<\/p>\n “It was kind of inevitable,” Brown, who lives in Peters Township, said.<\/p>\n The activity in Bethel Park is something Brown said he’s seen in his own neighborhood. He said kids have been very loud and non-attentive while riding e-bikes and e-scooters over the last five years.<\/p>\n “Someday we’re going to come out here \u2013 some kids are going to be lying in the street as part of an accident,” he said.<\/p>\n Police say you must be 16 or older to ride e-bikes and e-scooters outside private property. For those underage, parents and guardians can be cited.<\/p>\n Any bad behavior that leads to damage or injuries could leave them liable too.<\/p>\n Bethel Park Police say even if your kids are old enough to ride, they still have to abide by the rules of the road — following traffic lights, the signs, and the signals.<\/p>\n They say that if they don’t do that, those offenses are citable.<\/p>\n Brentwood Borough also sent out a reminder on Facebook<\/a>\u00a0Tuesday afternoon, saying “motorized recreational vehicles” are not allowed anywhere in the borough, which includes streets, sidewalks, and parks.<\/p>\n The borough is seeing more incidents locally involving those devices \u2013 including those leading to crashes and injuries, the post said.<\/p>\n \n More from CBS News\n <\/p>\n
