A 13-year-old motorcycle racer died Sunday after falling off his bike and getting run over by another motorcycle during a U.S. Grand Prix Racing Union event at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Peter Lenz of Vancouver, Wash., was pronounced dead by the Marion County coroner after sustaining "traumatic injuries." The accomplished teenage rider crashed on a warmup lap before his race and was struck by 12-year-old Xavier Zayat, who was uninjured in the accident.

Lenz is the first racing fatality at the speedway since IndyCar driver Tony Renna in October 2003.
