22-year-old man dies after ATV crash in northeast Sacramento County, CHP says
A 22-year-old man died Sunday evening after crashing an ATV while racing another rider in the Antelope section of northeastern Sacramento County, according to the California Highway Patrol.
The crash was reported on North Old Antelope Road, a frontage road next to the J.R. Davis Rail Yard, about 5:22 p.m.
Officer Justin Fetterly, a spokesperson for the CHP’s North Sacramento office, said two adult men were riding quad bikes and racing when the rider lost control, hit a fence and was ejected.
He was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead. The Sacramento County Coroner’s Office had not yet released the man’s identity pending notification of family.
The other rider was not injured, Fetterly said.
Authorities said drugs and alcohol were not suspected factors in the crash, which remains under investigation.
