In Santa Ana, a teenager was critically injured in an e-bike crash with a motor vehicle near Oak Street and McFadden Avenue on August 13, 2024. Emergency responders transported the teen to a hospital, and the driver of the car remained on-site for the ongoing investigation.

He was also taken to a medical facility for treatment. Both incidents highlight the risks associated with electric vehicles and the need for increased safety measures.
