NORTH ATTLEBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) - The victim of a motorcycle crash in Massachusetts this week has been identified as a 16-year-old Rhode Island boy.
Gregg Miliote, a spokesman for the Bristol district attorney, says 16-year-old Xavier Miguel, of Pawtucket, died at the hospital less than an hour after the crash at U.S. Route 1 and Route 120 in North Attleborough on Wednesday afternoon.
Authorities say Miguel was riding his motorcycle south on Route 1 with another motorcyclist, a 21-year-old East Providence man, when they both failed to negotiate a left turn at a traffic light.
