That fuckin sucks condolences to everyone involved I’m so sorry for your loss
How sad to see their life end this way. Out in nature soaking up the beauty. Hope the survivor recovers and considers counseling.
I am so very sorry to read that two ATV’s collided resulting in the death of one person. My sincere condolences to their family and friends. How a beautiful day of fun can turn tragic in the blink of an eye.
ATV’s are not toys. They weigh about 600lbs. People just hop on them in shorts and sandles with no helmets and start ripping around. A person should be well trained and fully geared up. I wish they would stop selling these to untrained people as farm toys. Too many people have been hurt or killed from lack of education!
