Girl, 8, killed and father hurt in ATV crash
Investigators say it hit a pole that was laid across the railroad bed and flipped over at least one time.
One neighbor says he thinks the pole may have been there a year or two.
"The neighbor down there had a pole put across on account of four-wheelers and whatever running back and forth, I don't know why he put it there, but he put it across his property put signs up and stuff: No Trespassing," says Blew.

Why every fatality from a crash is not legally a wrongful death
After someone dies in a motor-vehicle accident, grieving family members and friends are often left with many questions. What caused the accident? Could it have been avoided? What do they do now that their loved one is gone?
Sometimes a fatal collision happens through no one's fault. Crashes caused by weather and road conditions, or by wildlife in the roadway, are examples. But when a fatal crash is caused by negligence, then family members should pursue a wrongful death claim, to uphold the victim's rights and begin the financial recovery process.
