RIVIERA BEACH, Fla. — A 16-year-old boy was killed and another teen injured Saturday afternoon after the mini bike they were riding collided with a car on West Blue Heron Boulevard, according to Riviera Beach police.

Officers said the crash happened just before 3 p.m. in the 600 block of Blue Heron Boulevard. Investigators believe the mini bike, driven by 16-year-old Douglas Lundy of Riviera Beach, veered into oncoming traffic and struck a westbound Nissan Sentra.

Police said the bike was traveling above the posted speed limit at the time of the crash.

Lundy and his 17-year-old passenger were taken to St. Mary's Medical Center.

Lundy later died from his injuries, while the other passenger suffered minor injuries.

Neither teen was wearing a helmet, and police said the mini bike was not street legal and cannot be operated on public roadways.

The driver of the Nissan was not hurt and remained on the scene. Police said no charges are pending against him.

The Palm Beach County Medical Examiner's Office will determine the cause of death. The investigation remains ongoing.
