The NYPD says 16-year-old Umedjon Juraev and two other teens on the bike were run over by a truck.
According to police, the truck was driving on Ditmas and Coney Island avenues when the teens traveling at high speeds attempted to come to a halt before sliding underneath the truck.
Authorities also say a 15-year-old teen was taken to Maimonides Medical Center and is in stable condition. The third teen involved told News 12 off camera the e-bike was supposed to accommodate two riders at most.
