UTV vs Tractor trailer. 3 teenagers dead.

Teenagers are bullet proof, just ask one. Definitely not the only kids in the world out "having fun". Sounds like only two witnesses, one says the truck didn't stop and the other probably said it did. Either way, a tragic loss.

What makes this even worse is less than 2 weeks after this happened a 14 year old boy died after turning a atv over on top of himself while riding on his own properly about 8 miles from this very accident.

My Nephew was riding in a UTV with his buddy a couple years ago and they rolled it over a bunch of saplings, one of which broke of and went in his side and out his stomach, and another broke off and ran through his thigh. He nearly died from it.

Today about 1130 AM I heard ATVs in my woods/land just roaring around at high RPMs. I was able to get around them on my back lane. They came out, two guys in their late 20s or early 30s. No headgear, no permission. Tearing my ground up.
Gave me some story about a neighbor said it was OK to ride there. The house they pointed out I do not know. I did not ask for their names or follow where they went as I figured it would not be valid.
Now the real issue I had, the one guy had two little girls on the ATV with him. May have been twins, I would guess 2 years old, certainly not three. Whether they enjoyed the high speed ride or were terrified I do not know. The area they were in has steep, deep ravines, drop offs, high grass hiding things and the edges of the creek etc.
I told them they were not welcome there, will they comply. Who knows?
This is a bit related to these postings, not kids driving but acting pretty juvenile especially with those little girls and the rough terrain.
