Man driving a mobility scooter suffers minor injuries

Police are investigating after a man on a mobility scooter was injured this morning.

Around 9:45, officers were called to the area of East Main Street and Lyons Avenue.

Initial reports suggested the driver hit a man on a mobility scooter, then took off.

Investigators now say a blue sedan drove into the pathway of a mobility scooter, causing it to lose control.

The victim fell off the scooter, and was treated for minor injuries.

A description of the driver has not been released, but police tell us the vehicle is believed to have damage on the front.

Anyone with information is asked to call Niagara Regional Police or Crime Stoppers.
