"Stoneham is mourning the death of a teenage boy who died following a crash into a car on an electric dirt bike on Friday, a tragedy that has pushed lawmakers to reconsider safety rules and regulations for the increasingly popular vehicles. A preliminary investigation by the Middlesex District Attorney's Office and Stoneham police shows that around 4:30 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 21, a 73-year-old Toyota Corolla driver began making a left turn from Oak Street onto Royal Street when an electric dirt bike crashed into the car."
"First responders brought the 13-year-old boy riding the bike to Mass General Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. The DA's office, Stoneham police, and State Police are continuing to investigate. The DA's office did not provide any additional information on Tuesday. It remains unclear whether police will issue charges against the driver. The driver, Brois Smatkov, told WCVB that "I am very sorry about the boy, I didn't expect anything like this.""
