A 15-year-old girl was killed after a sanitation truck struck a crowd in Manhattan’s East Village on Friday night.
The girl was riding a Citi Bike with her 13-year-old friend when the private Badger garbage truck hit people as it turned right at 14th Street and First Avenue.
She was left trapped beneath the vehicle at the scene. Witnesses said police tried to rouse her before removing her and administering CPR for about 10 minutes.
“The police went and then tried to shake her, but she wasn’t responsive,” one witness said.
“And then, a bunch of police came in. They pulled her and then they pulled that person out and they gave that person CPR for about 10 minutes,” the witness added. “There was no response.”
