A 14-year-old died and a 13-year-old was critically injured in a motorized scooter crash in St. Paul Tuesday morning.
Officers responded to the West Side about 8:50 a.m. on a report of a crash. The teens were riding a scooter together when the driver of a pickup truck struck them at Ohio and George streets, said Alyssa Arcand, a St. Paul police spokeswoman.
Preliminary information indicates the 14-year-old was driving the scooter in the street, ran a stop sign before the crash, and that neither of the teens were wearing helmets, Arcand said.
Officers provided first aid and St. Paul Fire Department medics transported the 14-year-old driver and the 13-year-old passenger to Regions Hospital. The 14-year-old boy was pronounced dead at the hospital. The 13-year-old boy was being treated for life-threatening injuries, according to police.
The pick-up driver did not show signs of impairment and is cooperating with the investigation, Arcand said.
