Fatal ATV Crashes in Cedar Rapids Iowa
The rate of deadly ATV accidents has increased markedly in recent years. These vehicles can provide an exhilarating experience for riders, but they are not tailored for all terrains — despite what the name may imply. Many people consequently ride these vehicles without a proper understanding of what to do in the event of an emergency.
