A man has been taken to hospital after an e-scooter crash in Wandal.

The crash occurred on Lion Creek Rd at 11.13pm, Tuesday, November 4.

The man in his 20s was taken to Rockhampton Hospital in a stable condition with a head injury, a Queensland Ambulance Service spokesman said.

The crash in Wandal was one of seven incidents involving e-mobility devices in Queensland in the last 12 hours.

Two women have been injured, one in a potentially life threatening condition, following back to back e-mobility incidents in the Whitsundays.

The crashes come as the Queensland Government faces mounting pressure over e-mobility crashes and deaths.

A parliamentary inquiry into e-scooters and e-bike use is currently ongoing.
