A woman who suffered spinal fractures after a child crashed into her on a Lime bike has called on the mayor of London to clamp down on the ‘Wild West’ E-bike industry.
Jane Ouartsi was walking through a pedestrianised square in central London in August 2023 when she was hit by a young boy, understood to be around ten years old.
She was left like ‘a broken china doll’, with a fractured collarbone, two spinal fractures and a broken femur.
Since then, Ms Ouartsi has spent 36 days in hospital, had three operations and been forced to learn to walk again.
