So this was not a hit and run accident?

They are called dirt bikes March 31, 2023 - 3:46 pm

No one to blame except the kid and parents.

Unfortunately, the dirt bike tried to hit and run but was unsuccessful.

Where is someone putting blame? Regardless of how it occurred . A mother is grieving the loss of her son.

Ignorance!! The parents are great people and the “kid” was a great kid, no trouble, no gangs..nothing! Parents are grieving the loss of their only son…you should have more respect!

Its called the consequences of your actions. Parents knew kid rides bike illegally. Kid rides and bad happened.

At the end of the day a child lost his life. Kids do things they are learning. They dont realize what we as adult’s do. The parents may have not even known, kids are kids as we all were. Have hearts for parents suffering the worst loss. And for a young boy who lost his. No one deserves this especially a child. Hateful comments are by far disgusting.

The surprise is that this doesn’t happen more often. Kids are reckless and dirt bikes are hard to see. I see kids on dirt bikes taking chances every day, and it’s always one step away from mayhem. For this kid, it’s over. Too bad

Do stupid things get consequences

I see all these bleeding heart comments about what happened and yes it is a horrible tragedy. No parent should bury a child. But my question is where were the parents when this child was riding wheelies up and down Railroad at will for months and was running from Pittsburg PD ? Blew through a red light, riding an illegal vehicle on the street and ” The parents didn’t know”, how about parents were too busy to care about his illegal activity. Kids having kids ? Unfortunately he found a way to fix STUPID !

My prayers and condolences for this young 15 year old and the family and friends.

I hope the driver of the other vehicle is fine, and that he gets all his losses taken care of.

J Tafoya April 3, 2023 - 11:44 am

seriously, how about a mother is working , cant keep an eye on a child 24 7 . all your assumptions are ignorant.

TSG April 3, 2023 - 1:39 pm

Looks like you are the one making assumptions, that the mother is working and has no time for her child. Do you know the mother?
All the comments here ask empathy for the kid and his mother, and that is fine. But what about the driver of the car? Can you imagine you hit someone who then dies? Besides this the driver could also be physically injured. And chances are the deceased kid had no insurance. Who is the victim here?
