A 39-year-old ATV rider died after a late-night July 4 collision with a Ford Escape in Clark County. The Clark County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to the collision at the intersection of Northeast 76th Street and Northeast 137th Avenue.
Investigation Details
The preliminary investigation indicates that a 2008 Ford Escape was traveling eastbound on Northeast 76th Street and attempting to turn left onto northbound Northeast 137th Avenue. At the same time, the 39-year-old man was operating a 2003 Kawasaki ATV westbound on Northeast 76th Street without a helmet or other protective equipment. As the Ford Escape turned left, it collided with the ATV. The ATV rider was transported to a local hospital by AMR, where he later died from his injuries. Investigators believe alcohol impairment may have been a factor for the ATV rider.
