On June 14, 2025, a tragic e-scooter accident in Delaware County, Pennsylvania, left two young girls critically injured.
Twelve-year-old Abby Gillon passed away two days later, while her friend remains in recovery after multiple surgeries.
The community quickly rallied around Abby’s grieving family. A GoFundMe campaign raised tens of thousands to support her mother,
Lori Kralle, and cover funeral costs. An online memorial remembers Abby as a joyful, creative spirit who left a deep impact on everyone she met.
In response to the tragedy, Abby’s loved ones are pushing for “Abby’s Law”—a proposed bill advocating for tighter e-scooter regulations.
The law would include speed limits, helmet use, and age restrictions. While the proposal has
sparked discussion, her family emphasizes its intent: to save lives and spare others from similar pain.
Abby’s friend continues her long recovery, with a separate fundraiser launched to assist her family with mounting medical bills.
Despite the heartbreak, the community has shown immense support, turning grief into action and compassion.
Through advocacy, remembrance, and unity, Abby’s legacy continues to inspire hope and change.
