flag A 26-year-old e-scooter rider, Alan Galudzinski, died in a crash on a dark, unlit stretch of the A4042 in Newport on 30 September 2023 after being hit from behind by a Vauxhall Corsa traveling at 70mph. flag Police determined the rider, who was using a privately owned e-scooter—illegal on public roads—was over twice the legal drink-drive limit and traveling at up to 19mph in the middle of a lane. flag Investigators concluded the driver, an 18-year-old who escaped with minor injuries, could not have avoided the collision due to poor visibility caused by the scooter’s rear light blending with roadside markers and the rider’s circular jacket matching a nearby sign. flag No charges were filed. flag The case was featured in the BBC’s Crash Detectives: In The Shadows, airing on 22 October 2025.
