Youngster Killed In Off-Road Event Accident

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — Authorities say a 10-year-old boy has died at a Fort Worth hospital after his all-terrain vehicle crashed into a pickup at a Montague County campsite.

The Tarrant County medical examiner's office identified the boy as Nicholas Torres. He was pronounced dead Saturday at the Cook Children's Medical Center in Fort Worth.

Officials say the Saturday wreck occurred at the Rednecks with Paychecks Off-Road event, which organizers say attracted more than 10,000 people.
