CHICAGO (AP) - Illinois State Police say an 11-year-old has died in an all-terrain vehicle crash in eastern Illinois’ Clark County.
Police say the child lost control of the vehicle Monday night and it overturned and struck the front of a Jeep on a rural road just south of Casey. Police say the child was pronounced dead at the scene. The child’s name hasn’t been released.
Meanwhile, coroners outside Chicago say a teenager died after an ATV crash Sunday night in Crystal Lake.
The McHenry County Coroner’s Office says an autopsy Tuesday found the boy died of compressional asphyxia, or loss of oxygen from inability to breathe due to compression of the chest by the ATV.
The boy’s name and exact age haven’t been released.
Police say that ATV crashed in a field.
