– A child has died after suffering severe injuries in an e-scooter crash in Katy, according to the Katy Independent School District.

The 11-year-old child was struck by a vehicle while riding an e-scooter on a roadway on Thursday afternoon in the 26600 block of Roesner Road, according to the Fort Bend County Sheriff’s Office.

In an update on Friday afternoon, Katy ISD confirmed the child, who attended Tays Junior High School, had died.
