An avid hunter was killed in the forests of Kentucky when the ATV he was driving flipped over, landing on top of the man. The accident occurred as Larry Matthews, a resident of Lakeland, Florida, was on a fox hunting trip in northern Kentucky. As Matthews was driving through a heavily wooded area, he hit something, causing the ATV to flip.

Matthews' friends and family went looking for him after he failed to return from the hunting trip. About 100 people joined the search; eventually they found Matthews at the bottom of hill, trapped under the ATV.
