A 16-year-old girl was also injured in the crash and remains hospitalized. She was last listed in stable condition, according to police.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Serkov and the 16-year-old girl were rushed to Bellevue Hospital, where Serkov was pronounced dead, according to authorities.<\/p>\n
