Two adults dead, seven children hurt in ATV crash at Alabama park
A tragic incident occurred at an ATV park in Alabama, resulting in the deaths of two adults and injuries to seven children. The accident involved an ATV carrying nine individuals colliding with another vehicle, overturning, and hitting a tree. Emergency responders airlifted four patients, including an adult female and three children, to trauma centers in Birmingham where the woman later passed away. The rest of the injured children were taken to a hospital in Georgia. The victims, aged between 1 and 12 years old, were related to the adults involved. The incident took place in a remote area within the park, making access challenging for medical personnel. Authorities emphasized the importance of safe ATV operation and urged riders to follow safety guidelines. The investigation is ongoing under the supervision of the sheriff's office and the coroner's office. The park, covering over 7 square miles in the Appalachian Mountain range, is known as one of the largest private off-road parks in the South. Additional details are pending release as officials continue to gather information.
