A 52-year-old San Elizario man died after a dirt bike crash Saturday afternoon at San Felipe Park near S. Fabens Road and Carlsbad Road.<\/p>\n
Deputies with the El Paso County Sheriff\u2019s Office responded to the park on May 9, at about 12:12 p.m. for a report of an off-road vehicle crash. When deputies arrived, they found a crash involving serious injuries and requested assistance from the Sheriff\u2019s Office Special Traffic Investigators, who took over the investigation.<\/p>\n
Investigators said preliminary findings indicate the rider was operating the dirt bike in a desert area when he lost control while attempting to negotiate a curve and was dislodged from the bike.<\/p>\n
The rider was identified as Pedro Rocha, 52, of San Elizario. He was taken to a local hospital, where he later died from his injuries.<\/p>\n
The investigation remains ongoing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A 52-year-old San Elizario man died after a dirt bike crash Saturday afternoon at San Felipe Park near…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":287011,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[138,140,139],"class_list":["post-287010","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-el-paso","tag-el-paso","tag-el-paso-headlines","tag-el-paso-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/287010","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=287010"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/287010\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/287011"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=287010"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=287010"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=287010"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
