'Horrible tragedy.' Norwalk man struck and killed in e-scooter crash

Well, Norwalk Police Chief James Walsh says 46-year-old Christopher Moorer was riding a stand-up electric scooter like this one when he was struck and killed by a car early Wednesday morning. They died from the scooter crash? That's terrible. Police, fire, and EMS responded to the corner of West Avenue and Elm Street around 4 a.m. They discovered that the scooter operator was very critically injured. He had been struck by a car as the vehicle was turning onto Elm Street. Moorer was rushed to Norwalk Hospital, where police say he died from his injuries. It's a horrible tragedy. Have you? You know, it's, yeah, it's very sad. Walsh says the driver of the car stayed on the scene and is fully cooperating with the investigation. We're scouring videos and conducting... Interviews with the operator are hard to determine at this time. To determine what occurred at this time is still premature. Since the summer, police say they've seen an increase in e-bikes and e-scooters on city streets. Walsh says traffic enforcement is doing everything it can to keep people safe, but drivers and riders need to do their part too. That when you're driving these things, especially at night. To assure that you're wearing some form of visible clothing, that you're properly illuminated, and that you wear headgear because you're in a very vulnerable position in driving in traffic. Anyone with information should contact Norwalk Police. I'm Justin DeVellis, News 12.
