Jack McNaughton, 17, suffered multiple injuries after being hit by the e-scooter while attempting to cross Strathmore Avenue on Saturday.

The teenager, who has cerebral palsy and is a student at Dundee and Angus College, sustained a fractured hip, as well as injuries to his face and wrists.

A GoFundMe page set up to help Jack buy a new motorised wheelchair has already raised about £10,000.
