A YouTuber killed in an e-scooter crash in Battersea last year lost control due to an underinflated tyre


35 year old Emily Hartridge died instantly from multiple traumatic injuries when she was thrown under a lorry.

A coroner has ruled that the scooter was being "unsuitably driven, too fast" and the lack of air in the tyre had caused the crash.

A record of inquest document seen by the BBC said the death was accidental.

Ms Hartridge was believed to have been the first person in the UK to be killed in a crash involving an e-scooter.
