ATV accident claims life of local man
Melodie Phelps
News Editor

A local man died Saturday evening as the result of injuries sustained in

an ATV accident near the Parnell community.

Brian Scott Morrow, 36, was pronounced dead at 10:55 p.m. Saturday at

the Wayne County Hospital Emergency Room, according to Deputy Coroner

Forrest Hicks.

Hicks indicated that Morrow had been driving a four-wheeler with a group

of others when the accident occurred.



Apparently Morrow was attempting to climb a hill, when the ATV rolled

over backwards and fell on him.

Hicks stated that Morrow sustained critical head and chest injuries.

Wayne County EMS was dispatched to the scene and utilized the four-wheel

drive Ranger vehicle that allows them access to wooded areas that are

off-road.

EMS contacted Air Evac, which landed near the scene and transported

Morrow to the local hospital where he died a short time later.
