Local Mother Thanks Stranger After Son’s Scooter Accident

A local mother has taken to a community page to express her gratitude to a stranger who came to her son’s aid following a serious scooter accident.

Her 14-year-old son had fallen from his e-scooter on a Mirani street and was left unconscious on the road. The quick action of a passerby ensured he received help in what could have been a far worse situation.

“To the gentleman that picked my 14yr old son up off the road unconscious out Mirani recently from an e-scooter incident, I am eternally grateful to you for helping him out of an extremely bad situation, that he can go on to live another day,” the mother wrote.

“Thank you so so much, you were my son's guardian angel that day.”

The post has resonated with the local community, with many commenting to acknowledge the stranger’s timely assistance and to reinforce the importance of road safety for young riders.

The mother’s message serves as both a heartfelt thank you and a reminder to families about the potential risks of e-scooters, while highlighting the generosity of a local resident whose quick thinking helped protect a child in need.
