A young man is dead after an ATV crash and police say he may have been drinking before he wrecked.
It happened last night in Rockcastle County in the Luma Hollow area. Police say 20-year old Justin Samples hit a cable and was thrown from his ATV. He was not wearing a helmet.
This latest death comes at the end of what was a deadly weekend for ATV users. Crashes in Pike, Floyd and Harlan counties resulted in three deaths. A Scott County teenager is at UK Hosptial today after he crashed in Jackson County yesterday.

sorry about ur loss. the machines arent dangerous if u know how to ride them...accidents do happen sometimes...ppl wouldnt be on highways if they would fix the trails so they are passable.if ur comin to ride the redbird crest trail in clay co. dont bring ur kids cuz the trails are bad,even for adults, they need to put the money,that we're paying to ride these trails, back into the trails and make them safe.these trails are even dangerous for horses sometimes so whats up with that when an animal cant even walk the trails.be safe and be sure to wear ur helmet if ur gonna ride anywhere.might save ur noggin'.

Quit whining,its not the atvs that are dangerous, its the drivers! Without a driver that atv just sits there and doesn't hurt anybody. So lets place blame where its due, on the drivers. Add alcohol and drugs and your just asking to die.
