The victim was not wearing a helmet and was reportedly traveling the wrong way. Witnesses claim he lost control of the scooter, hitting the kerb or cobblestones before landing on the road or the steps of a nearby bar.
The man suffered a severe head injury and was pronounced dead at the scene by emergency medical responders.
