ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — Albuquerque police are planning to address the issue of illegal all-terrain vehicles traveling on city streets in the wake of a boy’s hit-and-run death.
Police along with officials from New Mexico Game and Fish will address the issue with a news conference mid-day Monday. Off-road vehicles are illegal to use on Albuquerque streets. But residents say that hasn’t stopped people from violating the law.
Concerns have turned into outrage after the death of 7-year-old Pronoy Bhattacharya earlier this month. The boy and his family had left River of Lights at ABQ BioPark on Dec. 12 when a man on an ATV hit him and his father.
