EDMONTON - A 20-year-old Vermilion man is dead after he rolled his quad.

The man left a rural party on a quad sometime after midnight on Monday to help a friend who had driven his vehicle into a ditch up the road, Vermilion RCMP said.

A second person left the party a short time later and found the first man lying unconscious in the ditch with his quad on its side nearby.

Bystanders and EMS tried to resuscitate the man, but he was pronounced dead at the Vermilion Heathcare Centre.

The man was not wearing a helmet and RCMP say alcohol was a factor in the crash.

X2 these kind of silly decisions are what are used against us by people trying to limit where and how we can ride.

Spot on. If people would use just a little common sense then crap like this would not happen.
