SALT LAKE CITY -- It's been another dangerous weekend for ATV riders: two people were killed, and another two were injured.
On Sunday morning a man broke his collar bone in an accident at Little Sahara. Another person was injured in an accident in Farmington.
On Saturday, the Tooele County Sheriff's Office says 46-year-old David Barber of Sunset was riding with a group of people in the Knoll's Recreation Area near Interstate 80 and rolled his ATV. He was not wearing a helmet and died at the scene.
Shortly thereafter, a Sanpete County man rolled his ATV on a dirt road near Mount Pleasant. The man was alone and was found by a farmer. Emergency crews flew him to the hospital where he died.
These are the latest in a string of deadly accidents. Last weekend, two people died on ATVs and three others were injured. In April, former Congressman Bill Orton died after he crashed his ATV in Little Sahara.
