According to a statement released by the London Metropolitan Police, who are asking for information or witness to the crash, officers responded to reports "of an electric scooter being in collision with a [truck]" on Friday morning.
"Officers and London Ambulance Service attended. A woman in her 30s had suffered serious injuries and was sadly pronounced dead at the scene," the statement continued. Authorities added that "at this early stage, there have been no arrests."
While Hartridge was not identified by police due to the wishes of the victim's family, The Guardian reportedly identified the woman as Hartridge. The publication further reports that this is the first known incident of a fatal collision involving an electric scooter in the U.K.
As of last month, in the U.S., there have reportedly been over 1,500 reported injuries and at least eight known deaths linked to electric scooter accidents stemming from the growing popularity of e-scooter rental services, such as Bird and Lime, in major cities across the country.

She chose poorly.
Their souls did from their bodies fly, to bliss or to woe.
Never heard of her, but may God rest her soul.
Very sad. Pretty cool young lady. Funny, charming and cute. I liked her 10 Reasons You Should Get Drunk at Work thing. So young.
If it’d been me, would probably have picked the scooter up and crossed on foot.
Died pursuing happiness?
“youtube star”
think that’s using the term rather loosely.
Wow! What a loss!
It’s like show business, I guess. If you have a lot of customers it makes you a “star”
An electric scooter in that environment?
Nuts.
RIP.
Never heard of her. She sure was a lovely woman though.
Gross Vehicle Weight was a major deciding factor in my recent motor vehicle purchase.
The wife chimed in and told me not to worry so much about the gas mileage.
Youtube has no Stars.
Likes are fake. Viewers are fake.
Youtube is a big lie.
A sampling of her youtube vid titles; Vapid is as vapid does.
