Ofo blames deadly bike accident on boy's parents

Company says poor supervision led to collision

Chinese bike-sharing giant Ofo said during a court hearing in Shanghai on Friday that the main culprit of the accident that took the life of a 10-year-old boy while he was riding one of its shared bikes was poor parental supervision.

The boy's parents have sued Ofo for more than 7.61 million yuan ($1.16 million) in compensation, and requested the company immediately install smart locks on all its bikes.
