A 13-year-old boy suffered minor injuries Monday afternoon when the motorcycle he was riding illegally near the intersection of Olde Salem Road and Taft Circle collided with a car.
Hanover Park police said two boys were riding “dirtbike-type motorcycles” on Olde Salem Road when the crash occurred just after 3:30 p.m.
Only one boy was struck, but he became pinned under the vehicle, police said. Firefighters were able to use special equipment to lift the vehicle off the boy, who was wearing a helmet.
The boy was transported to a hospital. His injuries are not considered life threatening.
The boys were cited for illegally operating the motorbikes on the street. The driver of the car also was cited, but for a registration issue, police said.
