Eight months after Jessica Jordan was mowed down by a reckless Lime Scooter rider, the company is refusing to hand over details of who hit her. 9News

Police have made repeated requests for information since officers started investigating the incident in January. But they claim Lime is refusing to hand over the details of the rider, instead referring the matter to its head office overseas.

But Queensland Police can't legally get a subpoena because it's an accident and not a pre-meditated incident."We'll take steps, if necessary, to remove that user from our platform," she was told. "The rider of the scooter has had complete disregard for the road rules, for the law and for the safety of those pedestrians," Maurice Blackburn lawyer Claire Gibbs said.

"Fully cooperate and stop the excuses. Road safety is the first responsibility of every transport provider. I am very angry," Mr Bailey said.
