The use – or misuse – of an electric motorcycle by a youth is blamed for the death of a 13-year-old Santa Ana boy killed in a traffic accident in Garden Grove Thursday night.

According to Sgt. Nick Jensen of the GGPD, the incident took place in the area of Magnolia Street and Larson Avenue. Police were notified at 9:50 p.m. of a traffic collision in that area.

Arriving officers saw a male juvenile being loaded into an ambulance. He was unconscious and was transported to a local hospital with life-threatening injuries and was later pronounced dead.

The investigation by the GGPD Traffic Unit indicated that the rider was operating an electric motorcycle in the number one (“fast”) lane of Magnolia Street at about 35 miles an hour.

The rider and e-bike struck the raised center median. He lost control of the motorcycle and he was thrown onto the pavement.

Anyone who might have witnessed the accident is asked to contact Investigator Lang at (714) 741-5823 or by e-mail at mlang@ggcity.org.
