MIAMI BEACH, Fla. – When a 14-year-old boy didn't return home on Saturday, his parents were able to track him with an app to the scene of a crash in Miami Beach.
It was there where they learned that their son, a student at Miami Beach Senior High School, died at the scene, while riding his bicycle.
Miami Beach Police Department's spokesman Ernesto Rodriguez said they were investigating the fatal crash involving a pickup truck.
"The vehicle remained on scene and [the driver] is cooperating," Rodriguez said in an e-mail.
Police officers closed Alton Road in both directions at 50th Street, and they were asking drivers to use 63rd or 47th Streets as alternate routes. The road reopened about 6:30 p.m.
