Kentucky Leads the Nation in Dubious Category of Fatal ATV Accidents!

Posted by Editor | Posted in Personal Injury News

The Injury Blog has detailed in the past how ATV accidents can lead to serious personal injuries, and a recent WKYT–WYMT story provided some disturbing numbers about these dangers in Kentucky. The story examined state police records from 2000 to 2007 and noted that 131 people have died in Kentucky ATV accidents during that time. In fact, the Consumer Product Safety Commission has ranked Kentucky as the number state in the country for fatal ATV accidents during the last three years.

The story added that the six deadliest counties for Kentucky ATV accidents were in the mountains of East Kentucky. Coroner Richard New said in the story that most of those accidents occurred due to people who were riding ATVs in areas that they were not familiar with. Pike County has witnessed 9 ATV deaths from 2000-2007 and led all Kentucky counties in this dubious distinction in the time period.
