One teen was killed, and another was injured, when they were struck head-on by an SUV in Harlem on Thursday night, the NYPD said.
The fatal crash unfolded as two teens, aged 13 and 14, were cruising on a motorized scooter on West 112th Street just before 8:50 p.m.
A Chevy Tahoe driven by a 63-year-old man then turned left from Adam Clayton Powell Jr. Boulevard onto the West 112th Street — colliding head-on with the motorized scooter, cops said.
The 13-year-old boy suffered a head injury in the crash and was taken to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
The 14-year-old boy was taken to the hospital in stable condition with a leg injury, police added.
The driver remained on the scene and was not injured in the crash, which occurred just two blocks north of Central Park, according to authorities.
It’s unclear what type of motorized scooter the teens were riding.
No arrests have been made, and an investigation remains ongoing.
