New video footage captures the moment a Las Vegas teenager on an e-bike was struck by a school bus, resulting in serious injuries. The incident occurred on January 12 around 1:20 p.m. when the 17-year-old collided with a school bus as it traveled south on Tenaya Way, crossing Lake Mead Boulevard.
According to 8 News Now, the school bus was traveling at nearly 40 miles per hour at the time of the collision. The teenager sustained injuries to her elbow and wrist that necessitated surgical procedures. The Clark County School District has since paid the teenager $200,000 to cover her medical bills resulting from the surgeries.
Data from the Clark County School District Police Department indicates that e-scooter crashes involving individuals under 18 have become a significant issue in the area, with over 140 such incidents reported between August 2025 and May 2026. Lt. Michael Campbell of the CCSDPD advised parents to ensure their children wear helmets and adhere to traffic laws, emphasizing that devices without pedals should not be operated on roadways. The video shows the two e-scooters appearing to exit a plaza parking lot before entering a bike lane just prior to the collision.
