The Stearns County Sheriff’s Office responded to a call about a boy who crashed his dirt bike on Wednesday. 

Just after 4:15 p.m. deputies arrived at the scene near County Road 17 in Holding Township.  A witness who called 911 says the 15-year-old from Albany lost control of his bike after the rear wheel locked up. 

The boy was wearing a helmet and was taken to the Melrose Hospital by ambulance for treatment of minor injuries.
