A 27-year-old man suffered a fractured leg when he crashed the scooter he was riding in the Mission Bay area, police reported Monday.

The man was riding a motorized scooter southbound in the 3900 block of Ocean Front Walk around 10:45 p.m. Sunday when he put his foot down to stop and fell off the scooter, San Diego police Officer John Buttle said.

The man was taken to a hospital for treatment of a fractured leg, Buttle said.

Dockless electric scooters have become a popular way to travel in congested neighborhoods of San Diego.
