An ambulance crew responds to the ATV accident scene.Christy Price was driving an ATV, her 11-year-old daughter on the back, when she accelerated up a steep hill on a trail in North Georgia’s Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forest.
She hit a rock and the ATV began to roll over — backward.
Price, 35, managed to shove her daughter off the four-wheeler before the machine fell straight back and landed on top of her, authorities said. The daughter was uninjured.
Price died 30 minutes later from her injuries, said Whitfield County Coroner Bobbie Dixon, but authorities are waiting on the autopsy before they report the exact cause of death.
Price’s husband declined to comment Monday.
