A dirt bike rider was killed and his passenger was critically injured Monday night when they slammed into a pickup truck in Aurora. The crash comes just weeks after the Colorado city approved fines for parents who allow their kids to ride illegal off-road bikes on public streets.

APD say officers were called to East Sixth Avenue and Toledo Street around 7:30 p.m. Monday. The dirt bike was operated by an adult male with an adult female passenger. The dirt bike was heading eastbound on East Sixth Avenue when it struck the side of a Ford F-350 pickup that was making a left turn onto Toledo Street. Both the man and woman were rushed to a nearby hospital. The man later died from his injuries. The woman remains in critical condition.
