Yesterday evening, a 35-year-old ATV rider died after crashing into another ATV rider and suffering "severe head trauma."
Police say they responded to a call about two ATVs crashing near Bailey Avenue and 233rd Street in the Bronx at 5:50 p.m. At the scene, officers found Paul Rodriguez, with severe head trauma, and another male rider, 33, injured. Police believe that the two men, on Yamaha ATVs, were going north on Bailey Street when they collided at 233rd.
