Fox 23 News (Albany, NY), "New details about vehicle in fatal Knox accident"

We're learning new information about the vehicle involved in the accident that killed a 13-year-old Knox boy Thursday night. It turns out the government has warned about the safety of the utility terrain vehicles, or UTVs, telling owners not to use them without a special fix.

As Albany County Sheriff's investigators try to piece together what led to 13-year-old James Wyatt Spencer's death when a Yamaha Rhino UTV rolled over on him Thursday night in Knox, they've learned concerns have been raised in recent months about the vehicle's safety. 46 drivers and passengers on these vehicles have died in recent years, most due to rollovers.
