Ebike Crash Cranford New Jersey in Cranford, New Jersey: An 18-year-old suspect was ordered to be tried as an adult in a hit-and-run crash that killed two 17-year-old girls, Maria Niotis and Isabella Salas, who were riding an e-bike in Cranford, New Jersey, in September 2025. Prosecutors say the suspect struck the teens and fled the scene. One day after the crash, the suspect alluded to the incident during a YouTube livestream but did not admit responsibility, and was seen playing an online video game during the stream. The Union County Prosecutor's Office announced the waiver to adult court, and the case will proceed through the Criminal Part of the Superior Court of New Jersey, Union County Vicinage.
