I live right next to this ORV park and I'm surprised this is the first death up there based on what I have seen going on. The artical has a ton of ads so I cut and pasted it.

A man died Wednesday after his truck rolled at the Seven Mile ORV Park in Nine Mile Falls.
The crash happened about a half-mile into the park, which was muddy and slick due to recent weather conditions, in an open field that was below a steep hill from the park’s entrance.
Spokane County Sheriff’s Deputy Mark Gregory said the man was not wearing a seat belt and was driving with a child passenger, who was wearing a seat belt, when he crashed.
The driver sustained life-threatening injuries and was transported to the hospital. The child was treated for minor injuries and released.
An administrative supervisor at Sacred Heart Medical Center confirmed Wednesday evening that the driver had died.
Gregory said there were no signs that the driver was impaired by drugs or alcohol, and the crash appeared to be an accident.
Other drivers who were around the park when the crash happened said bystanders tried to help, administering CPR to the driver, and had assisted emergency responders in transporting the man.
The driver, along with hundreds of others, was attending the Hangover Run, an annual off-roading event at the ORV Park.
