GREENSBORO, N.C. — A juvenile died Friday after a dirt bike crash in Winston-Salem Sunday, according to police.
On Aug. 6, Winston-Salem police said they received a call about a crash involving a dirt bike and a 2007 Toyota right after midnight. When officers arrived, the driver of the dirt bike was taken to a hospital for life-threatening injuries.
Police said after an investigation, witnesses claimed a juvenile was driving a dirt bike in a careless and reckless manner with no lawful vehicle lighting traveling east on Silas Creek Parkway. Investigators said the driver of a Toyota was traveling west on the same road when they began making a U-turn on Oak Grove Road.
Detectives said due to the time of night at the lack of lights on the dirt bike, the driver of the Toyota did not see the dirt bike and crashed.
Winston-Salem police said on Aug. 11, the juvenile driver of the dirt bike died from the injuries received from the crash.
The Winston-Salem Police Department’s Traffic Enforcement Unit has assumed investigative responsibility.
