67-year-old Shirley Smith from Kettering had been walking from her driveway towards a friend's car when she was ploughed into by a woman riding a Voi rental e-scooter. Shirley was left with severe bruising all over her body and still needs medical treatment for back pain since the incident on the 9th of April. The woman responsible has since been banned by e-scooter provider Voi. Shirley and her husband, chip shop owner Mike, 76, are calling for new laws to be put in place to protect pedestrians from e-scooters, and for harsher punishments for e-scooter riders breaking the law.
