In a statement, the Middlesex District Attorney’s Office wrote, “The preliminary information suggests that, at approximately 4:30 p.m., the 73-year-old operator of a Toyota Corolla was making a left turn off of Oak Street onto Royal Street when an electric dirt bike struck the vehicle. The operator of the dirt bike, a 13-year-old boy, was transported to Mass General Hospital where he was pronounced dead.”
Residents who heard the crash said they are heartbroken for the teenager’s family.
“I heard a big bang, I went down to the end of the street with a couple of neighbors, saw a body on the ground. I found out it was a 13-year-old,” an emotional neighbor told 7NEWS. “I saw the young kid lying on the ground, and when they said he’s going right to Mass General I knew it wasn’t good. And I pray for his parents.”
