traffic fatalites

The girl was a passenger on the scooter with another teenager when it collided with a car.

Community members said the move was welcome, but more safety measures are needed.

Sixteen children have been killed on city streets so far this year, advocates say, the greatest number of any year since 2013.

All the victims—three women, a man, and a boy around 2 years old—were riding in the SUV.

The incident occurred around 9 a.m. in front of the Seasonal Restaurant and Weinbar, at 130 West 58th Street between 6th and 7th Avenues.
