Police identified on Wednesday a 14-year-old who died in a motorized scooter crash in St. Paul as Kevin Reitmeier.
Officers responded to the West Side about 8:50 a.m. Tuesday on a report of a crash. Kevin, of St. Paul, was operating the scooter and a 13-year-old was a passenger. The driver of a pickup truck struck them at Ohio and George streets.
Preliminary information indicates the scooter was being operated in the street, ran a stop sign before the crash, and that neither of the teens wore helmets, said Alyssa Arcand, a St. Paul police spokeswoman.
Kevin was pronounced dead at the hospital. The 13-year-old boy was in critical, but stable condition as of Wednesday morning, according to Arcand.
Police said the pickup driver did not show signs of impairment and is cooperating with the investigation.
