SITUATION Zoran Solano, a 20-year-old man was brought into the
Emergency Department (ED) after an accident whilst riding
on an electric scooter. He was stabilised and transferred to
the Orthopaedic Ward for surgery in the morning.
BACKGROUND Zoran Solano was out partying with his friends, celebrating a
birthday in the Valley. According to his cousin, Eyad, Zoran
started drinking at 5pm that day and by the time they left
the club around 2am, Zoran was very intoxicated. As they
were walking out of the club, Zoran decided to jump on an
electric scooter that was parked outside the club. Eyad
started running after Zoran, and he saw Zoran weaving in
and out of cars on the road at a high speed. Eyad saw Zoran
barely manage to avoid fully hitting the concrete column of a
building but he jumped off the electric scooter and landed in
an awkward position.
