A 9-year-old boy died after crashing an ATV into a North Carolina field, the sheriff’s office said.
The child was wearing a helmet when he crashed the off-road vehicle in Ramseur on March 7, Randolph County Sheriff’s Office Maj. Steven Nunn told McClatchy News.
The sheriff’s office responded to the crash around 5:23 p.m., Nunn said.
No one else was in the ATV, he said.
There will not be any arrests, he said, because it was a “tragic accident.”
Ramseur is about 63 miles west of Raleigh.
