DECATUR TOWNSHIP – Clearfield-based state police reported a fatal all-terrain vehicle crash Saturday in Decatur Township.
State police say the crash occurred at 3:03 a.m. as the ATV was traveling southbound along Logan Road.
The operator, a 14-year-old Osceola Mills boy, was trying to negotiate a downhill, right-hand turn when the ATV went off the left side of the roadway.
The ATV struck a tree with its front, left corner, causing the boy and his two passengers to be thrown off.
The boy was pronounced dead on-scene. Both passengers – a 15-year-old Osceola Mills boy and a 14-year-old Philipsburg girl, were flown to UPMC Altoona.
Neither the operator, nor his two passengers were wearing helmets at the time of crash.
