ATV Accident Kills Child And Leaves One Injured In Michigan

One child died, and one child was injured, ages 9 and 13, while riding an all terrain vehicle (ATV) on 22 Mile and Garfield Roads in Macomb Township on April 13th. The boys were hit by a 17 year old driving an automobile. Both children were taken to local hospitals.

My deepest condolensces go out to the two boys who were killed and injured and their families.

ATVs and ORVs provide great thrill and excitement to riders but can pose significant safety risks to both riders and occupants.   Tragic accidents are reported all throughout the summer months in Michigan for ATV accidents.  Many of these involve ATV rollover accidents and others involve collisions with other vehicles.
