| | ATV crashes, deaths involving kids rise in Minnesota as popularity climbs |
Four-year-old Steve âOwenâ Meyer died in July after losing control of the all-terrain vehicle he was driving on a gravel road near a Morrison County farm, without his parentsâ permission.
A 6-year-old passenger jumped off before the ATV rolled but Owen didnât make it, dying two days before his fifth birthday. His obituary described him as a âresilient, fearless, little boy that believed that nothing could hurt him.â
He was the youngest victim of an ATV crash this year in Minnesota, but he wasnât the only child to die that way.
All-terrain vehicle use has surged as an outdoor recreational activity across Minnesota, especially since the COVID-19 pandemic. But their popularity has come with a human toll: 67 Minnesotans have died in ATV crashes in the past three years, including 21 this year. Of the 67 victims, 12 were children younger than 18. | |
