A LaPlace teenager died in an ATV accident Friday night after he crashed into a parked all-terrain vehicle carrying a pair of youths who had trespassed onto private property north of River Road in Destrehan, authorities said. The impact from the crash caused both the teenager, 15-year-old Trent Torres, and the ATV to be thrown into a wooded area, causing the fatal injuries. Deputies found alcohol and about a dozen teenagers when they arrived at the property owned by BP, after getting a call around 11:49 p.m., said a spokesman for the St. Charles Sheriff's Department.
