Two young men are dead after crashing a motorcycle into a tree while apparently speeding in the Bronx early Sunday morning.
Police say the two men, one aged 21 and the other appearing to be in his 20s, were riding a Yamaha motorcycle at Commerce Avenue and Newbold Avenue in Unionport at about 12:45 a.m. Sunday when they rammed into a tree, apparently while traveling at a high rate of speed.. In that incident, a man was driving a Suzuki motorbike with a female passenger and was traveling well above the speed limit when he failed to make a sharp curve and crashed into a chain-link fence.
