CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, Va. (WRIC) — Two motorcycle riders have died in two separate crashes in 48 hours, one in Chesterfield County and the other in Prince George County.

Sixteen-year-old Ayden Cardona lives in Bexley Neighborhood behind Hicks Road and he was home when the crash happened.
“I was in my room playing a game with my friends, and then I heard a loud bang — and then I heard another one, like, right after,” said Cardona. “We walked up the road and we saw a dude’s helmet and his clothing all over the road and the motorcycle was like demolished.”
