Two 13-year-old girls riding an e-scooter together were killed when a pickup truck towing a trailer collided with the pair in a Syracuse neighborhood Wednesday afternoon.

Syracuse police responded to the scene of the crash, a residential intersection near Syracuse High School, at about 1:05 p.m.

There, they determined the truck involved had been traveling south on Banbury Drive before it collided with the scooter, which the girls had been riding west along Heritage Parkway.

The man driving stayed at the scene and is cooperating with investigators, police said in a news release. Both girls died at the scene.

Police did not immediately identify the children “out of respect for their families and pending appropriate family notifications,” the release states.

Utah Highway Patrol troopers are assisting Syracuse officers as they work to investigate the collision’s circumstances.

Until an investigation is complete, authorities “will not speculate on the factors that may have contributed,” the release added.

“The loss of two young lives is a tragedy that will be felt throughout our community,” Syracuse police said. “Please keep all those affected in your thoughts.”
