NORTH LAUDERDALE, FLA. (WSVN) - A boy died from his injuries after he was struck by a vehicle in North Lauderdale while he was riding an electric scooter, authorities said.
Broward Sheriff’s Office deputies and North Lauderdale Fire Rescue units responded to the scene of the crash along the 7900 block of West McNab Road, at around 5 p.m., Thursday.
“Responding to West McNab Road, Southwest 81st Avenue for a vehicle versus a minor,” a dispatcher said.
Upon arrival, deputies found the injured boy and a scooter lying on the grass.
Video recorded by a witness shows the moments after the crash as first responders rendered aid to the victim.
Paramedics airlifted the young patient to Broward Health Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.
Back at the scene of the crash, 7Skyforce hovered above a white Mercedes-Benz sedan with visible front-end damage.
Neighbors who saw the incident play out told 7News that the boy was riding his electric scooter when he was hit by two different cars.
BSO detectives have not confirmed whether a second vehicle was involved, but an aerial shot shows two cars inside the area cordoned off with yellow tape: the white Mercedes and a red sedan.
The drivers of both vehicles remained on the scene while first responders arrived.
Both directions of McNab Road between Avon Lane and 81st Avenue were temporarily shut down but have since reopened to traffic.
The boy’s age remains unknown at this time. However, North Lauderdale city officials said he is “middle-school-aged.”
The cause of the crash remains under investigation.
