A 14-year-old boy has died after an ATV accident in Bethlehem Wednesday night.
State police said they responded to Wood Creek Road at 4:41 p.m. Wednesday after receiving a 911 call reporting that a boy had been involved in a crash and was unresponsive.
EMS performed CPR on the boy, 14-year-old Tyler Palmer, of Watertown, and transported him to Waterbury Hospital.
State police said Tyler had been riding a quad on a track on the property while his father was working on the course further into the woods.
When Tyler’s father realized he had not seen or heard his son for a while, he went looking for him and found Tyler pinned under a quad.
Police said it appears Tyler was trying to jump the ATV over a ramp, lost control and the vehicle rolled.
He was not wearing a helmet, according to a news release from state police.
