A 20-year-old man was killed when the driver of a 2012 Toyota Sienna slammed into him as he rode a stand-up e-scooter through Brooklyn, cops said Friday.
Ajpop Walter was riding his scooter south on 14th Ave. when the Toyota driver, a 56-year-old man traveling in the same direction, struck him near 77th St. in Dyker Heights about 5:16 p.m. Wednesday, according to law enforcement.
Medics rushed the victim to Maimonides Medical Center, where he died later that day.
The Toyota driver remained at the scene. There were no arrests.
The victim lived about four blocks away from where he was killed, cops said.
Walter was killed just one day after a fatal crash claimed the life of another e-scooter rider in Brooklyn.
Melba Jordan, 45, was riding her scooter north along Franklin Ave. in Crown Heights when the driver of a 2007 Peterbilt dump truck heading in the opposite direction slammed into her as the driver turned right onto Pacific St. shortly after 11 a.m. Tuesday, according to law enforcement.

The 68-year-old truck driver remained at the the scene and was not arrested.
