Photo: supplied via NZ HeraldA man is recovering at an Auckland hospital after the Lime scooter he was riding snapped in two. “The man was lying on the ground in a recovery position and next to him was the broken scooter. The witness said Lime scooters had been discussed for safety reasons like breaking and reckless use, but not for snapping in two. We are working closely with Auckland Council to manage and mitigate issues as they arise,” Lime public affairs manager for New Zealand Lauren Mentjox said.
