Three Arrested As Hundreds Of Dirt Bikes, ATVs Take To Streets

ATLANTA —Hundreds of dirt bikes and ATVs took to Atlanta local streets on Sunday, weaving in and out of traffic and popping wheelies. Police said three people were arrested, and one rider was taken to Grady Memorial Hospital when his dirt bike hit a car in downtown Atlanta. The rider is in stable condition.

Police also said three ATVs and one dirt bike were seized.

Buckhead business owner T.J. Callaway told Channel 2 "someone will die today if that continues."

An Atlanta police spokesman said officers usually don't pursue dirt bikes and ATVs in their patrol cars, because the vehicles drive on sidewalks, weave between vehicles and go off-road when they're being chased by police. The department did, however, move more police vans and other vehicles in the areas where the dirt bikes and ATVs were seen.
