12-year-old Kody Beasock was killed yesterday after colliding with his brother head-on while riding dirt bikes in their native upstate New York.
Kody Beasock and his brother Christopher Beasock were riding towards each other from opposite directions when Kody Beasock turned his head to the right to see a friend. At that point, Kody Beasock drifted to the center of the road, hitting his brother head on and throwing both boys from their bikes.
After the crash, 16-year-old Christopher Beasock remains in critical condition at Syracuse Hospital. Kody Beasock was pronounced dead at the scene.
The boys were riding on Hines Road, directly in front of their home. The road is 17 feet wide and unpaved.
Kody Beasock was riding on a 125 CC Suzuki off-road motorcycle, and Christopher Beasock was on a 250 CC Honda.
