Mourners remember motorcycle crash victim
Loved ones gathered today for the funeral of a teenage father killed in a motorcycle accident in Rockland.
Dozens came out to the St. Joseph's Church in Spring Valley to mourn Richard Quezada, 17, who was killed last weekend when he collided with a car while riding his motorcycle in Ramapo.
The accident happened on a straight stretch of Pascack Road. Police say he did not have a license to drive a motorcycle, but did have a learner's permit.
Quezada leaves behind a girlfriend and their 3-month-old baby. The couple had planned to get married this spring after graduating high school.
