Yellowknife, N.W.T. -  A 14-year-old boy is dead after a fatal collision in Cambridge Bay, Nunavut on Tuesday.

The RCMP said a pick-up truck and dirt bike collided on a gravel road near the airport...

The crash caused the dirt bike to go up in flames; and the boy was taken to the health centre where he was pronounced dead.

The four passengers in the pick-up truck were not hurt.

Police said the boy on the dirt bike was wearing a helmet, and that drugs and alcohol were not factors in the accident.
