NEW YORK (1010 WINS) — The NYPD's Highway Collision Investigation Squad is probing a fatal Revel scooter accident that killed a 22-year-old who lost control and was run over by an SUV in Midtown East late Sunday.
Police responded to a 911 call in connection to a man struck with severe head and body trauma at around 11:17 p.m. at First Avenue and East 48th Street, authorities said.
