A Dunlap, Tennessee, teen was killed Sunday morning after he lost control of the ATV he was driving, according to the Tennessee Highway Patrol.
The 15-year-old was driving north on Harvey Cemetery Road at about 45 mph when the ATV left the road, a THP report states. The teen tried to get the vehicle back onto the pavement, but he over corrected and the ATV overturned.
The teen was not wearing a helmet when he was ejected from the ATV and landed on the pavement, suffering blunt force trauma to the head, the report states.
He was taken to a local hospital before he was flown to a Chattanooga hospital where he died of his injuries.
