Emergency personnel were called around 5:00 PM for the reports of an ATV accident in a pit, and upon arrival located the rider unconscious, officials told TLS.
Police tell TLS it was a single-vehicle rollover accident.
The rider is said to be approximately 50 years old.

“It is only Legal to ride on your own property, or on the private property of another with their written permission,” Jackson police told TLS. “It is unlawful to ride on public lands or the property of others.”
I hope everyone is well
he is trying to throw the responsibility on each rider but it is really up to the state to study the potential dangers and develop some lifesaving guidelines and preventive measures
Riding act’s & dirt bikes can be very enjoyable. The state should dedicate space for this activity. Hiring qualified instructor’s would definitely ameliorate the situation. Let’s give it a try.
