Apparently they got a flat tire and it caused an accident and he and 4 others were killed. It happened in Chambersburg, PA, wihch is where I live. My brother was outside and his house is close to where it happened, he heard the accident last night. 81 didn't open up until after 8 AM this morning and it happened last night.

Never heard of him, I don't follow any ATV racing, but sounds like he was good on an ATV.

This is honestly impossible to believe to be real life. I have been Danes mechanic for the past 6-7 years. Won all his championships with him. Racing aside, the entire family were the nicest people and I'm not just saying that. I can't process that something like this happened to such a nice family. I was just riding dirtbikes with his dad on Sunday and dane also would ride bikes in singletrack with us. His sister was fully into the sport and the history of it. She probably knew more than he did about past champions ect. It's a huge loss all around. Like the article says, they were on their way to lorettas for the last race of our season. IMG 1226002

Damn... May they all rest in peace, that is terrible. It's crazy how a small thing like that can just end five lives, just like that...
