RENO — Police in Reno say a teenage is dead after crashing his mini-bike into a car.
Investigators believe the 14-year-old boy ran a stop sign and crashed into a vehicle at a downtown Reno intersection around 7 p.m. Friday.
The Reno Gazette-Journal reports that responding police officers found the injured boy on a sidewalk.
He was taken to a hospital, where he died early Saturday.
The name of the teen hasn’t been released.
