A 15-year-old girl, identified by police as Daria Serkov, is killed after a sanitation truck strikes her and another girl while they are riding a Citi Bike in Manhattan’s East Village. Police say the incident happens Friday night, shortly before 9 p.m., near 14th Street.
According to reporting, Serkov is riding with a 13-year-old friend when the truck or excavation vehicle hits them. The outlets differ in how they describe the vehicle involved, with one describing it as a sanitation truck and another referring to an excavation vehicle, but both attribute the crash to the truck striking the Citi Bike.
One outlet also includes references to images from the year before showing Serkov with a Citi Bike, framing her identification and background alongside the fatal incident. Both accounts rely on police statements for the identification and basic timeline, and do not describe charges or investigations beyond the crash itself.
