BOCA RATON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2026 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — A child in South Palm Beach County sustained critical injures Tuesday afternoon when he apparently fell from his e-bike at nearly 30 miles per hour. We are not identifying the child’s specific age or where specifically the crash took place. He was rushed to an area hospital.
BocaNewsNow.com has learned that paramedics were frustrated by what they found at the scene. It was not immediately clear if any other vehicle was involved. What’s also unclear is what parent would ever permit a child to ride an e-bike that can hit nearly 30 miles per hour. It is the latest example of what appears to be horrible parenting in South Palm Beach County as children — seemingly every day — are injured on e-bikes they are not trained to ride.
We do not know if the Florida Department of Children and Families has been notified about the crash, or whether the parents of the child could face child endangerment charges.
