Two teen girls were killed in a hit-and-run incident in New Jersey with a 17-year-old boy facing murder charges, according to prosecutors.

According to the Union County Prosecutor’s office, two teenage girls lost their lives in a tragic accident when a 17-year-old driver, whose name has not been disclosed, allegedly hit them with an electric bike on Monday at approximately 5:26 p.m. The victims were identified as Maria Niotis and Isabella Salas, as reported by CBS.

Authorities said the teen girls were pronounced dead after arriving at area hospitals.

The driver of the car, a 17-year-old male from Garwood, New Jersey, was charged with two counts of first-degree murder.

Police said the suspect was driving a 2021 black Jeep Compass at the time of the alleged murders.

A different neighbor described what she saw following the alleged murder.

“At first, I only saw one girl, and as I walked a bit further down the street, I discovered the other. It was devastating. There’s nothing more horrible than what I witnessed yesterday. I have children myself, and no family should have to endure this,” a neighbor stated.
