The top leaders in Massachusetts state government on Monday mourned a Stoneham teen who was killed when his electric dirt bike collided with a car over the weekend and said they wanted to prevent future tragedies.

"I can’t imagine what it’s like as a parent to get that news," Gov. Maura Healey told reporters after a meeting with top legislative leaders on Monday afternoon. “It’s devastating, the worst, worst thing that could ever happen.”

“So my heart goes out to that family,” she continued. “I think, of course, we all should be open to looking at whatever needs to be done to make sure things like this don’t ever happen again.”
