So sad, thoughts for his whānau. These scooters are dangerous at night.

Cope. If you ride one of those death traps you're asking for it.

Noah Bennett2026-06-22T04:01:42.000Z

Another scooter crash? Surprise surprise. Should ban 'em from the roads already.

Casey Adams2026-06-22T04:31:42.000Z

nah get stuffed. Accidents happen. Blame the rider not the scooter.

Reese Morgan2026-06-22T04:11:42.000Z

I drive trucks through that intersection daily. Those scooter riders got no idea how invisible they are. Tragic but inevitable.

Rest in peace mate. Why can't people just walk or cycle properly? Councils let these things run wild.

Ex-fkn-actly. Cyclists whinge about cars but scooter riders are worse.

Strongs to the family. But honestly, 12:10am on a Sunday? Dark, drunk people about – recipe for disaster.

Casey Adams2026-06-22T05:11:42.000Z

Ban e-scooters. Now. Another preventable death.

Noah Bennett2026-06-22T05:43:42.000Z

Same. I've seen them swerve in front of cars with no lights. Darwin Award material.

Cameron Diaz2026-06-22T05:24:42.000Z

rNZ'd be nothing without these daily tragedies. Council asleep at the wheel as usual.

Noah Bennett2026-06-22T05:35:42.000Z

facts. But they'll keep renting 'em out cos money > lives.

Riley Scott2026-06-22T05:53:42.000Z

Anyone got a link to the CCTV? Wanna see what actually happened before I judge.

Riley Scott2026-06-22T06:07:42.000Z

Police FB page. Might be up soon.

Noah Bennett2026-06-22T06:23:42.000Z

ffs another one. My mate got wiped out on a Lime last month. Helmets people!

RNZ2026-06-22T06:32:42.000Z

Jog on with your sympathy. Man dies doing dumb stuff at midnight, now taxpayers pay for the cleanup.

Sophie Ngata2026-06-22T06:55:42.000Z

some respect. Someone's family is grieving.
