Sawyer D. Overman, 6, was driving down a gravel road in a 2011 Polaris Ranger with his 8-year-old brother when the ATV went off the side of the road.
Overman over-corrected, lost control of the ATV and went off the left side of the gravel road, according to the sheriff’s deputy.
The ATV overturned, ejecting Overman and then trapping him under the ATV.
His 8-year-old brother freed himself from the ATV and went for help, according to the sheriff’s office.
