UPDATE: A 17-year-old River Edge girl and two Bronx teens were all seriously injured when their scooter barreled onto Route 4 and were struck by a passing vehicle, authorities said Sunday.
The trio – including a 15-year-old girl and 16-year-old boy – were headed down Myrtle Avenue in Englewood late Saturday when the scooter hit a traffic island and careened onto the westbound highway, where they were struck by a vehicle, Bergen County Sheriff Anthony Cureton said.
All three were taken to Hackensack University Medical Center.
The most seriously injured was the Bronx girl, who sustained a skull fracture with possible bleeding on the brain, the sheriff said.

Christine Nunn knew something was terribly wrong.
There she stood, on a sidewalk with her dog on a leash, frantically sniffing a poop bag. I tried so hard to smell it, but got nothing, said Nunn of Fair Lawn. Nunn was aware what this likely meant: she had caught COVID-19.
She ran home and grabbed the coffee beans she keeps in her freezer and inhaled deeply again and again. No earthy aroma, no herbaceous scent, no smell whatsoever.
She dashed to her bathroom and stuck her nose into a container of Vic s VapoRub, a topical cough-suppressant ointment known well for its strong menthol odor. She may as well have been sniffing water. I got zero, Nunn said.
