Dirt bike rider dies after he hit car in Bronx
A 25-year-old man died Friday when his dirt bike rammed a car in the Bronx — then continued on to strike two people at a nearby intersection, officials said.
The bizarre scene unfolded on Third Ave. near Fordham University at 3 p.m. when the man riding the unregistered and uninsured Yamaha dirt bike tried to zip around a Toyota as it turned left onto E. 188th St.
The unidentified man hit the Toyota and was thrown from the bike, which continued rolling down Third Ave. until it barreled into an 85-year-old woman and a 55-year-old man at the corner.
Paramedics rushed all three victims to St. Barnabas Hospital, where the dirt bike rider died of his injuries.
The two pedestrians were treated for non-life threatening injuries, officials said.
Cops were investigating the accident Friday night.
