HEBRON, Conn. (WTIC Radio) - Connecticut State Police are investigating a dirt bike crash that killed a RHAM High School freshman in Hebron.
Troopers say Erik Brooker, 14, of Hebron, lost control of the Honda CRF150 he was riding Sunday afternoon around 5:25 p.m. when he came across an "S" curve at the intersection of Burnt Hill and Cone Roads.
Brooker slammed into a rocky embankment and apparently was thrown off the bike.
Brooker suffered serious, life-threatening injuries and was taken to the Marlborough Middlesex Clinic where he later died.
Regional School District 8 superintendent Colin McNamara sent a letter to the RHAM community on Monday.
