A man was hospitalized in critical condition after he crashed his illegal motorcycle into a Parks Department truck in the city and the motorcycle caught fire.
Sources told our sister network News 4 that he was illegally driving the unregistered motorcycle by Willow Avenue in the Mott Haven section of the Bronx on Saturday night.
The motorcyclist crashed into a park truck while making a left turn and was pinned under the bike as it burst into flames. He was not wearing a helmet.
Police said he was taken to hospital with severe bodily trauma and burns.
A week ago, the city almost crushed 100 offroad motorcycles which had been seized by police as part of the city’s crackdown on the use of these illegal vehicles.
