Auburn, N.Y. — A 15-year-old Auburn girl died this week from injuries she suffered when she was struck by a car while riding her bike late last month, police said.
The girl, Mercedes Falcone, was riding her bike on Sept. 28 at Perrine and Washington streets, according to James Slayton, the chief of the Auburn Police Department.
Falcone suffered a head injury in the crash, and was taken in critical condition to Upstate University Hospital in Syracuse. She was taken off life support Monday, according a GoFundMe campaign started by her family.
