A 15-year-old boy has been cited for careless driving after he allegedly struck and seriously injured an 81-year-old man and his wife with his electric dirt bike in Miami last month.
A Miami Police crash report said the teenager, who has not been identified due to his age, lost control of his dirt bike and slid in to both pedestrians. It also said he was going 20 miles per hour in a 30-mile-per-hour zone.
The incident happened on January 11th by the entrance to Kennedy Park on South Bayshore Drive. The report said the accident happened at 10:13 a.m.
81-year-old Hank Klein was knocked unconscious and had bleeding on his brain, and recently learned he also has an L 4 compression fracture on his lower back. His wife, 76-year-old Lisa Sloat, was left with a fractured ankle. They were both hospitalized for three weeks.
