British Woman Faces 20 Years in Jail After Fatal E-Scooter Crash in Australia
A British woman, Alicia Kemp, faces 20 years in an Australian prison after being charged with death by dangerous driving. The 24-year-old from Redditch allegedly struck and killed a 51-year-old man while riding an e-scooter under the influence of alcohol in Perth. Police estimate she was traveling at 15mph, double the speed limit for e-scooters on pavements. The incident has prompted the City of Perth to temporarily suspend its e-scooter hire scheme. The UK Foreign Office is in contact with local authorities and Ms. Kemp ahead of her next court appearance in July. "This is a tragic incident," said a spokesperson for the City of Perth. "We are committed to ensuring the safety of our residents and visitors."
