A 66-year old male farmer (the victim) died two weeks after his four-wheel all-terrain vehicle (ATV) overturned on a road/trail beside an embankment on his private land, and rolled over him. The victim was driving in his pasture checking his fence and looking for an opening where his cattle got through the previous evening. The victim reported that he drove around some brush on the trail and then drove over a small tree, expecting it would crush under the wheels, but instead it caused his ATV to begin to roll over. The victim was pitched down a 20 foot embankment and the ATV followed and rolled over him. Two hours later when the victim's son returned to the farm and realized his father wasn't home from checking the fence and the cattle, he went to look for him. The emergency medical service (EMS) was notified by the victim's son and EMS summoned a medical helicopter. The victim was transported by helicopter to a nearby medical facility where he died of complications on September 1, 2003.
