In St. Petersburg, an electric scooter exploded under the feet of the owner

The opening of the season ended with resuscitation for the scooter.

The incident happened late last night on Vasilyevsky Island. As can be seen in the footage from the outdoor surveillance camera, while driving, the electric scooter sparkled and a second later turned into a huge fireball. The owner of the device received serious burns to the buttocks, lower back and back.

Fortunately for the victim, there was an ambulance substation nearby. And he was doubly lucky that at the time of the explosion, doctors were passing by, who immediately hospitalized him.

According to doctors, the 45-year-old owner of the scooter received burns on 20% of his body. Now he is in the burn intensive care unit. He will be operated on today.

The footage below shows a similar incident that took place the day before yesterday in London. While charging, the newly bought electric scooter caught fire and nearly burned down the apartment of 37-year-old Dell Williams. The man himself managed to run out of the house, but nevertheless he needed the help of doctors due to poisoning with acrid smoke.
