On Monday, around 1:15 p.m., cops responded to a 911 call of a vehicle collision at the intersection of Cooper Avenue and 88th Street in Glendale.
Upon arrival, officers observed a 15-year-old boy with injuries to his right leg and a 16-year-old girl with severe head trauma. EMS responded and rushed the boy to Cohen Children’s Medical Center in stable condition, while also transporting the girl to Jamaica Hospital Medical Center in critical condition.
Further investigation by the NYPD Highway District’s Collision Investigation Squad determined that the boy was operating a 2021 Yamaha scooter (vehicle 1) with the girl as the passenger. Vehicle 1 was traveling on Cooper Avenue approaching 88th Street, while vehicle 2, a 2021 Mazda CX-30, occupied by a 30-year-old man and a 27-year-old woman in the front passenger seat, was traveling on 88th Street approaching Cooper Avenue. As vehicle 1 proceeded, the scooter struck the front of vehicle 2, causing both driver and passenger to become ejected and come to a rest on the pavement. Both vehicles remained at the scene and the occupants of vehicle 2 were also transported, via EMS, to Jamaica Hospital Medical Center, where they were treated and released.
The investigation remains ongoing by the NYPD Highway District’s Collision Investigation Squad.
