13-Year-Old Palm Beach Boy Killed in Tragic Dirt Bike Accident

Authorities say a 13-year-old boy is dead after a dirt bike crash in South Florida.

Jonathan Gonzalez was riding the dirt bike Sunday afternoon when the crash happened, the Palm Beach Post reported.

Palm Beach County Fire Rescue crews responded, and Gonzalez was airlifted to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Jonathan Gonzalez's mother says the boy was on the back of a dirt bike with a friend near their Wellington home when they crashed into a canal.

The condition of the friend wasn't known. The crash remains under investigation.

A gofundme account was set up for the family.
