SAN DIEGO (KGTV) — A 29-year-old man has been hospitalized after the electric scooter collided with an MTS trolley in San Diego's Logan Heights neighborhood Monday afternoon.

According to the San Diego Police Department, the incident happened at 3 p.m. at the intersection of 31st Street and Commercial Street.

Police said for an unknown reason, the man lost control of the scooter and struck the rear of the Trolley. He was taken to UCSD Hillcrest by paramedics.
