SALT LAKE CITY — A teen boy on an e-bike was seriously injured after he was hit by a pickup truck in Salt Lake City Thursday evening.

A 16-year-old boy was riding an e-bike southbound on 300 West, according to Salt Lake police. As he entered an intersection, he was struck by a pickup truck traveling westbound on 500 South, police said.
