A Lawson man died and a Lawson juvenile was injured in an ATV accident that occurred Sunday evening in Ray County.
The Missouri State Highway Patrol reports that a northbound 2003 Yamaha Kodiak ATV, driven by 53-year-old David L. Martin of Lawson, was traveling in a field at 32247 Beaver Run Lane (northeast of Crystal Lake) around 6 p.m. when the ATV began to skid.
