More Details On Krystel Romero & The Condition Of The Injured Victim

According to the New York Post, Romero was pronounced dead at the scene of the Corona incident. Additionally, the second teenager was reportedly rushed to Elmhurst Hospital in critical condition.

The outlet reports that sources say she reportedly sustained a “fractured skull and brain bleeding” and “was unable to breathe on her own.”

Per the New York Post, a source has shared that Romero’s mother is “really in shock” and “still can’t believe it.”

“Krystel’s mom told her not to do anything like this,” the friend, only identified as “Ever,” explained. “I don’t know what made her take this decision. Kids these days are doing all these things for social media. Maybe it was a bad influence from friends. Maybe it was a bet. Krystel was even afraid to go on the trains. She never wanted to go places on the subway, so we’d always catch taxis.”
