A 50-year-old man from Middletown lost his life in an ATV accident early Thursday in Warren County.
The incident happened around 1:25 a.m. on the 3600 block of Reliance Road.
Dannel B. Bolt sustained critical injuries and was taken to Warren Memorial Hospital, where he later passed away.
Virginia State Police reported that Bolt was driving a Kawasaki side-by-side on private property when he tried to climb an embankment, causing the vehicle to overturn.
Alcohol is believed to have played a role in the crash.
A 29-year-old male passenger suffered minor injuries but declined medical treatment at the scene. His identity has not been disclosed.
The Kawasaki side-by-side lacked seatbelts.
Authorities are continuing to investigate the crash.
