Teen dies in Christmas Eve dirt bike incident
EL PASO COUNTY, Colo. (KRDO) -- Colorado State Patrol confirmed to KRDO13 that a 15-year-old boy died in a dirt biking incident south of Ellicott Christmas Eve shortly after 5:00 p.m.
Two people were riding separate dirt bikes through a field near Jayhawk Avenue and Ellicott Highway and at one point, they had a violent collision.
When first responders arrived, they immediately began doing CPR on both victims, according to CSP.
Their injuries, so severe that crews called two air ambulances to the scene. However, only one would leave with a passenger.
One of the riders, just 15-years-old, did not survive, and was declared dead at the scene.
The other victim, a 21-year-old man, was flown by helicopter to a hospital.
Things are still early on in this investigation and the exact cause of the crash is still unclear.
We are still awaiting an update on the medical status of that second victim.
