RACEWAY TOWNSHIP, Ohio (AP) — A 6-year-old boy was killed when he was thrown from and trapped beneath an
ATV that overturned in a field, authorities said.
Sawyer D. Overman was driving down a gravel road in Recovery Township with his 8-year-old brother when
the accident occurred around 7:30 p.m. Monday, according to the Mercer County sheriff’s office.
Overman over-corrected and lost control of the ATV and it soon overturned, ejecting and trapping the
boys. His older brother soon freed himself from the ATV and went for help.
Sawyer Overman was taken to a hospital but was pronounced dead there a short time later. His brother was
treated at the hospital for minor injuries.
The accident remains under investigation.
