The operator of an ATV died after driving into a chain stretched across a private driveway on Tucson's far west side, Tuesday evening.
Pima County Sheriff's Department deputies responded to a report of an ATV crash in the 9000 block of West Calle Cibeque at 9:40 p.m.
Upon arrival, they found the operator, 25-year-old Deven Plemons, with life-threatening injuries. He died from his injuries in the hospital.
An investigation determined Plemons was operating the ATV with a passenger seated behind him when he turned into a private driveway with a chain stretched across the entrance.
Both riders were ejected.
Neither speed nor impairment is believed to be a contributing factor, the news release said.
The investigation is ongoing.
