14-Year-Old Girl Critically Injured in Florida Skateboard Accident A 14-year-old girl is in critical condition after being struck by a vehicle while riding an electric skateboard in Wellington, Florida. The incident occurred around 10 p.m. on Pinion Drive on Tuesday, April 6, 2026. According to reports, the driver of the vehicle was also 14 years old and was operating a 2007 Kawasaki, though it remains unclear whether the vehicle was classified as a motorcycle or a golf cart. Both the driver and the injured girl were transported to St. Mary’s Medical Center, where the driver received treatment for minor injuries. The girl, however, suffered severe trauma, including two brain bleeds, rib fractures, and is currently intubated in the hospital. The accident has raised questions about the safety of electric skateboards and the legal implications of the incident. While the driver’s age and vehicle type have been confirmed, authorities have not yet disclosed whether charges will be filed against the teenager. The sheriff’s office confirmed that both individuals were taken to the hospital, but no further details about the circumstances of the collision or the driver’s actions have been released. The incident has sparked discussions about the growing prevalence of electric skateboards and similar vehicles on public roads. The Hands-Free Florida Coalition, an organization focused on combating distracted driving, has called for stricter regulations to address the risks posed by such devices. However, the specific details of the accident, including whether the driver was operating the vehicle legally or if there were any traffic violations, remain under investigation.#kawasaki #14_year_old_girl #wellington_florida #st_mary_s_medical_center #hands_free_florida_coalition
