Overview
- Parker Robles, a John Glenn Middle School student from Bedford, was identified by the superintendent as the boy who died.
- The crash occurred around 4:30 p.m. when a Toyota Corolla turning left from Oak Street to Royal Street was struck by an electric dirt bike, and the teen was pronounced dead at Massachusetts General Hospital.
- The Middlesex District Attorney’s Office, Stoneham Police, and Massachusetts State Police crime-scene and collision reconstruction units are leading the inquiry.
- Officials have not determined whether the 73-year-old driver will face charges as the cause remains under investigation.
- Bedford schools arranged counseling for students, and WCVB reported the driver said his car was towed and his license is suspended as Stoneham police cleared other dirt-bike riders from the area.
