Scooters, Long a Nuisance, Draw

Scooters, Long a Nuisance, Draw Anger as a Safety Risk

The man in the Brooklyn accident, Stanislav Lazarovsky, 24, lay near death last night at Lutheran Medical Center after his gas-powered scooter collided with a van in Sunset Park shortly after midnight.

Mr. Lazarovsky had been traveling the wrong way on 55th Street near Eighth Avenue, the police said. Doctors told his relatives that he had a small chance of surviving and would suffer from severe brain damage if he lived.
