to authorities.
Police from the 104th Precinct in Ridgewood
responded to a 911 call regarding a vehicle
collision along the southern edge of St. John
Cemetery near 88th Street and discovered a
15-year-old boy with injuries to his right leg
and a 16-year-old girl with severe head trauma,
police said. EMS responded to the scene and
transported the boy to Cohen Children’s Hospital
in Glen Oaks in stable condition. The girl

CX-30 was on Cooper Avenue approaching 88th
Street when the scooter struck the vehicle,
ejecting both riders. A 30-year-old man who
was driving the Mazda, and a 27-year-old
woman who was in the front passenger seat,
were taken by EMS to Jamaica Hospital Center
where they were treated and released, police
said.
