An 8-year-old boy was seriously injured Wednesday evening after the dirt bike he was riding crashed into a car in Altamonte Springs, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
The crash occurred around 6:05 p.m. at the intersection of S Ronald Reagan Blvd and Florence Avenue in Seminole County, according to a preliminary report.
The 8-year-old was riding a 2023 Yamaha dirt bike traveling southbound on S Ronald Reagan Blvd in the outside lane when he lost control and entered the path of a 2004 Toyota Avalon traveling in the inside lane, according to FHP.
The left side of the dirt bike struck the front right of the car, throwing the boy from the bike, causing him to hit the car a second time.
The boy was transported to Arnold Palmer Hospital with serious injuries.
The 56-year-old driver and an 18-year-old passenger of the Toyota Avalon, both from Orlando, were not injured and remained at the scene.
The crash remains under investigation.
