From Friday's Lexington Herald-Leader:
Man faces murder charges in ATV death
A Harlan County man was charged with murder Wednesday after his all-terrain vehicle passenger fell from the ATV and died, state police said.
Leslie Cox, 18, of Evarts is facing murder charges after the incident on Hamblin Road. A statement from state police said that Donnie Joe "Joey" Stokes, 20, of 106 Harlan Street in Evarts fell off the Honda ATV about 5:42 pm.
Mr. Stokes was thrown from the ATV after Cox "steered," state police said. Mr. Stokes fell and struck pavement, the statement said.
Mr. Stokes was pronounced dead at Harlan Appalachian Ragional Hospital.
This is typical of many kentucky riding areas (cough, cough), Livingston especially.
I'm sure neither bone-head was wearing a helmet, either. Sad, but just another form of natural selection....:ermm:
