On Friday night around 9 p.m., an excavation truck hit two teens riding a Citi Bike on East 14th Street in Manhattan's East Village; the 15-year-old girl, identified as Daria Serkov, died at Bellevue Hospital after being pinned under the vehicle. Her friend, also aged 13, was hospitalized but is now stable.
