Florida man faces charges after fatal ATV crash
NAPLES, Fla. (AP) - Authorities say a Florida man is facing charges following the death of a passenger on his all-terrain vehicle.
The Naples Daily News reports that the crash happened early Monday at Picayune Strand State Forest near Naples.
The Florida Highway Patrol says 18-year-old Koleton Mitchell was riding the two-person ATV on a one-lane road with 20-year-old Oliver Mey in the passenger seat and 22-year-old Brenden Eddington sitting on a cooler. The ATV hit a tree and overturned onto Eddington. Mitchell and Mey drove Eddington back to a residence and called for help. Eddington was taken to a nearby hospital, where he died.
Troopers say Mitchell faces charges for DUI and manslaughter charges. Jail records didn't list an attorney.
