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. Bystanders screamed for the driver to stop but were ignored until first responders arrived and attempted CPR on Daria for ten minutes without success. The truck driver reportedly wept uncontrollably when realizing what had happened. A vigil later honored Serkov at the crash site, with friends describing her as warm-hearted and full of joy.
