A 58-year-old man is in critical condition after the electric scooter he was riding collided with a vehicle in Oshawa on Sunday evening.

Durham Regional Police say the crash happened around 7:15 p.m. at Albert Street and Athol Street East. Investigators report the e-scooter was travelling east on Athol when it struck a vehicle making a right-hand turn from Albert.

The rider was rushed to a Toronto-area trauma centre with life-threatening injuries, where he remains in critical condition.

DRPS officers attended the scene and continue to probe the circumstances. Police say alcohol is believed to be a factor, though the investigation is ongoing.

Authorities are appealing for witnesses and asking anyone with cellphone, dash cam, or surveillance footage to contact Durham police.
