Maine Child Killed in ATV Crash

An 11-year-old Maine boy is dead following an ATV crash.

According to an article on the WABI website, members of the Maine Warden Service were called to East Sangerville at about 4 PM on Tuesday.

Upon arrival, the wardens were informed that the 11-year-old boy went for a ride on an ATV on a friend’s property, but never returned.

When he did not return, a neighbor went looking for the boy and found him on the trail.  The ATV was on top of him and he was unresponsive.
