A scooterist is in critical condition after he collided with an SUV in Brooklyn's Gravesend neighborhood late Saturday morning, according to the NYPD.

Official response and confirmed impact

Police say the crash happened just before 10:30 a.m. on Ocean Parkway at Avenue U.

According to investigators, the scooterist was riding westbound when a 2016 Toyota Highlander, traveling southbound on Ocean Parkway, struck him.

Citizen app footage taken near the intersection shows the area taped off and what appears to be an electric scooter lying on the sidewalk.

A little ways down the parkway, a black Toyota Highlander is seen stopped on the side of the road with its hazard lights on.

Detectives confirm that the driver of the Toyota remained at the scene.

Paramedics rushed the scooterist to NYU Langone Brooklyn, where police say he remains in critical condition as of Saturday afternoon.
