A 15-year-old boy who was seriously injured in an
e-bike crash Thursday in Trumbull has died, Trumbull Public Schools officials say.
The crash happened around 6:45 p.m. on Main Street near Whitney Avenue. Officials say Mason Murren was operating the e-bike, heading south on Main Street, when he was hit by a vehicle driving north. Murren sustained serious injuries and was taken to a hospital.
Officers say the vehicle that hit the e-bike was heavily damaged and remained at the scene. The driver was the only person in the vehicle and was not injured. No charges have been filed in connection to the crash, police say.
Trumbull Public Schools sent an email to parents:
"Our hearts are with Murren family, friends, and all who knew and loved him. We know this news may be difficult for students to process and we understand how deeply it will impact many members of our school community. We understand that receiving this news is very difficult, and we share in your sadness. Please take time to talk with your child about this loss, and reassure them it's okay to feel upset, confused, or even uncertain about their emotions."
