US EditionBritish Backpacker Faces Court over Fatal E-Scooter Crash in Australia
PERTH, WESTERN AUSTRALIA, JUL 15 – Alicia Kemp, 25, was over three times the legal alcohol limit when she collided with a man, resulting in his death and prompting calls for tougher e-scooter laws.
- Alicia Kemp, a 25-year-old backpacker from Redditch, faced court via video link in Perth on July 15 over a fatal e-scooter crash on May 31 in the city centre.
- The crash occurred after Kemp allegedly rode under the influence of alcohol, colliding with 51-year-old Thanh Phan, who died in hospital days later from a brain bleed.
- Kemp faces charges related to causing death and bodily injury through impaired driving and was refused bail during a hearing in June, remaining in custody since then.
- In Western Australia, e-scooter users are required to be at least 16 years old, wear helmets, remain sober, and not carry passengers; dangerous driving that results in death can lead to a prison sentence of up to 20 years.
- Kemp’s case is scheduled to return to court on August 11 for further legal proceedings, while Phan’s family has urged authorities to reassess regulations surrounding e-scooters, prompting the government to announce a parliamentary investigation.
