Bordentown Student Dies After Scooter Crash

The girl was struck around 3 p.m. on October 30 on Route 130 in Burlington County, Bordentown Township officials said. She was taken by helicopter to Cooper University Hospital in Camden with critical injuries and died there on November 1, officials said.

The collision involved two scooters and a pickup truck. Authorities closed part of Route 130 for several hours after the crash. A second person riding a scooter was also involved; officials have not provided further details about that person’s condition.

Township officials said they are coordinating with local schools and county prosecutors to assist those affected by the death. The Burlington County Crisis Response Team is expected to be available to students at the middle school this week.

Residents described concerns about traffic and safety near the crash site, including drivers stopping on a crosswalk and children using scooters and bicycles in nearby parking areas. One witness said she heard screaming and saw people rush to help.
