ATV Wreck Claims Sublette County Teen

A young Sublette County resident died as a result of an ATV accident Sunday. Sheriff’s officials received a call at approximately 8:20 pm reporting there had been a rollover of a recreational vehicle near the Sublette and Lincoln County line. The reporting party advised a teenaged female occupant was not conscious or breathing. CPR instructions were given by Sublette County dispatchers while Deputies and EMS medics responded to the scene. Upon their arrival the responders found a dune buggy rolled onto its top and a female occupant unresponsive. Unfortunately, due to severe head injuries the 14-year-old driver succumbed to her injuries and was pronounced deceased on scene. Another juvenile occupant of the vehicle was taken to a nearby medical facility to receive treatment for non-life-threatening injuries. Sheriff’s officials say a helmet was in use at the time of the crash.
