An another eastern Kentucky man has died in an ATV accident over the weekend.
The crash occurred at approximately 6:00pm in the Luma Hollow area just off River Road in Rockcastle County.
Upon arrival Trooper Scottie Pennington determined Justin Samples, 20, of London, was operating a 2007 Yamaha Raptor ATV, travelling up a steep embankment, when he struck a cable and was thrown off the ATV. Samples sustained fatal injuries in the incident.
Samples, who was not wearing a helmet, was pronounced dead at the scene by the Rockcastle County Coroner.
Alcohol involvement is suspected.
The incident remains under investigation by Kentucky State Police.

Here's the thing, yes atv's are dangerous, yes the people on them are dangerous, but it doesn't matter....It was an accident, all of my friends and I will grieve the same way whether Samples did it on purpose or not. We all know he didn't.The thing about alcohol in my opinion it SHOULD NOT have been printed that way. Why give everybody a harder time than we're having right now.

I happen to agree with amy from hammock. this is a family member and it is devastating to us to have lost a member of our family. sometimes accidents are just what they are accidents ! may justin rest in peace.
