With so few details available right now, I can’t help wondering if authorities are giving the accident the attention it deserves. With non-standard vehicles like an ATV, departments may simply feel they have other priorities to work on, or they may not really be equipped to handle something like a vehicle defect, which typically requires special tools and training. So are authorities here giving this accident attention, or are they letting important details slip through the cracks?
