"The unlicensed teen rider, who suffered minor burns and a broken ankle, is shown stumbling away from the crash with flames clinging to him. As NBC Bay Area reports, the teen, who was identified by NBC News as being 16 years old, was filmed allegedly running a red light in Salinas on October 30. The teen then crashed the bike into the side of a car, causing the bike to burst into flames."
"Immediately following the crash, the teen attempted to get up as his 15-year-old friend, who was on a second dirt bike, rushed over to help. Per NBC News, the dirt bike, which is considered full-size, was not street legal. Sergeant Zach Dunagan of the Salinas Police Department told NBC Bay Area that the teen was not speeding and suffered minor burns and a broken ankle. He said the fire was likely ignited when a spark hit some leaked gas or oil."
