A young man, aged 18, lost his life in a tragic accident when the motorbike he was operating along with a 14-year-old girl collided with a minivan at an intersection in Bronx. The incident occurred on Monday evening, as reported by the authorities.
The boy was driving the motorcycle towards the east on East 172nd Street, with the teenage girl as a passenger, at approximately 6:45 p.m. The collision took place when they struck a Honda Odyssey that was heading north on Metcalf Avenue in the Soundview area, according to the police statement.
Both teens were thrown from the bike and rushed to Jacobi Hospital.
