    A study by Auckland City Hospital on e-scooter injuries has prompted another call for a zero alcohol limit for people riding them

    A study by Auckland City Hospital on e-scooter injuries has prompted another call for a zero alcohol limit for people riding them


    The study, published in today's New Zealand Medical Journal, reveals 180 patients were admitted to the hospital's emergency department in the first five months of e-scooter use in Auckland.

    Auckland University's Professor Ian Civil says almost a quarter of those patients had consumed alcohol before their scooter accident.
