BOSTON (WHDH) - Two teens are fighting for their lives after being hit by a truck while driving a moped in South Boston Thursday night.

When the moped didn’t stop, the truck struck the back of the moped. One witness said one of the girls was thrown violently from the bike and sent flying in the air.
