A NEWS STORY I’M NOT SURE HOW TO REACT TO

Here it is, from John Annese’s article for the New York Daily News.

A 15-year-old Queens armed mugging suspect on an e-bike fleeing NYPD cops was fatally struck by an unlicensed hit-and-run Lexus driver with an atrocious driving record after crossing into Long Island, police said Sunday.

Cops responding to a 911 call about a knifepoint robbery in progress outside a corner pharmacy in Floral Park came across the suspect fleeing on the e-bike about 8 p.m. Saturday, police said. Officers pursued the teen for a little over a mile from Hillside Ave. and 257th St. into New Hyde Park in Nassau County, just over the Queens border, an NYPD spokesman said.

The teen was headed east on his e-bike on Bryant Ave. when a 2015 Lexus  GX 460 driven by 28-year-old Ruyan Ali slammed into him while going south on Lakeville Road, Nassau County police said. Ali, who had a suspended license and whose car registration had expired, crossed into opposing traffic to pass a car that was slowing to a stop in front of him, according to a criminal complaint.

The teen died at the scene, and Ali tried to flee but was arrested nearby, Nassau County cops said.

As I said, I’m not sure how to react to this.  How about you?
