EAST VILLAGE, Manhattan (WABC) — Police have identified the 15-year-old girl killed after being struck by a truck while on a bike in the East Village as Daria Serkov.
A 16-year-old girl was also injured in the crash and remains hospitalized. She was last listed in stable condition, according to police.
It happened at East 14th Street and 1st Avenue around 9 p.m. Friday. Police say the truck was traveling westbound on 14th Street when the driver attempted to make a right turn onto 1st Avenue, striking the teens.
Serkov and the 16-year-old girl were rushed to Bellevue Hospital, where Serkov was pronounced dead, according to authorities.
The impact was so strong it knocked the shoes off at least one of the victims. A shoe and the crushed Citi Bike were found underneath the truck as police investigated the cause of the crash.
The truck appeared to be a Hydro excavation truck, according to the services Badger Daylighting provides.
Police believe both victims may have been riding on the bike that was later on the ground in the crosswalk.
It appears the driver stayed on scene.
NYPD Highway Patrol is investigating.
