Four buggies a week crash

-

MOBILITY scooters are involved in four crashes a week as their use soars.

The number of accidents involving the electric buggies, which cannot exceed 8mph and are designed to be used on the pavement, has more than doubled in just two years.

There were 209 crashes in 2014 compared with just 84 in 2012, the Department of Transport figures showed. Nine people were killed.

Hull has had more buggy accidents than anywhere else, with eight in the last year and 14 since 2011. A YOUNG Palestinia­n girl in a Tweetie Pie T-shirt sinks her teeth into the hand of an Israeli soldier as she struggles to free a boy who is being held at gunpoint.

The shocking picture was taken during clashes between Israeli security forces and protesters after a rally against a land grab.

Palestinia­n land is being confiscate­d to expand a Jewish settlement in the West Bank village of Nabi Saleh, near Ramallah.
