"A family member who was riding a second ATV attempted to pull alongside the vehicle to pull the victim off, however was unable to do so," read a portion of the statement. "The ATV crashed into a residential fence, then struck a block wall where it came to final rest.""The investigation is ongoing and at this point there is no criminal violations suspected in the crash," read a portion of the statement.
