STONEHAM, Mass. —

Friends and family of 13-year-old Parker Robles left flowers and mementos to remember the seventh-grade student who died when his electric dirt bike collided with a vehicle on Friday in Stoneham, Massachusetts.

"He was one of the neighborhood kids who really loved bikes," said one neighborhood man. "He really enjoyed them, I saw how happy her was when he was on the bike."

Witnesses say Parker was traveling fast, and it appeared he tried to beat the car turning left onto Royal Street, driven by Boris Smatkov.

"I am very sorry about the boy, I didn't expect anything like this," Shmatkov said.

He said his car was towed from the scene by police, and his license is currently suspended while the investigation continues.

It's unclear if Shmatkov will face any charges.
