ATV DEATH TOLL HITS 48

(09/30/2006)
A Monroe County woman has been killed in an ATV crash, bringing West Virginia's ATV-related death toll to a record 48 for 2006.

An accounting of how many individuals are injured on ATVs is not available.

Sheriff's officials say 56-year-old Linda Testerman of the Rock Camp area died Wednesday evening, after the ATV she was driving hit a metal wagon near her home and flipped on top of her.

State lawmakers are reviewing the ATV laws they passed in 2005, with most suggesting better education is needed.
