Edmonton Sun (Canada), "Quad rollover kills boy, 13"

A 13-year-old Rimbey boy died in a quadding accident Saturday afternoon about 60 km west of Rocky Mountain House. Wyatt Lyal Bauer was driving a Yamaha Rhino alone on a logging road in the False Creek area, when he went down a steep hill and lost control of the vehicle, which then landed on him, Mounties said.

The teen was camping in the area with friends and family. His friends found him about 20 to 30 minutes after the accident, removed the quad and tried to revive him, police said. RCMP and EMS responded to the rollover around 1 p.m. Bauer was given CPR and airlifted to Rocky Mountain House hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
