ATV Accidnet
2003 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance
Two young men drinking in a local bar in Dieterich, Illinois, decided to play chicken on their ATV's.
They proceeded to leave the bar and go out onto the highway and play chicken (at night with no lights).
They collided head-on. One boy was reportedly killed instantly from a broken neck. The other was killed when a semi-truck ran over him some time later. The driver of the truck called it in and that's when both boys were found.
The police backtracked the boys whereabouts and came up with the story. There is now a sign located at the accident site in memory of the two boys. Submitted on 03/13/2002
