4-wheeler accident claims lifeBy Wendy LedbetterPublished Wednesday, May 7, 2008 in the Nevada County Picayune A Bragg City man was killed Sunday, May 4, when the four-wheeler he was driving flipped. Timothy McDore, 30, was riding with a group of others on Nevada County 27 with several other riders when the accident occurred. According to a report from the Nevada County Sheriffs Office, a 911 call came in just after 6 p.m. NCSO Deputy Robert Missey said officers responded along with the Nevada County Ambulance Service. According to Missey, McDores white Yamaha Banshee flipped end-over-end. He was then transported to Ouachita Medical Center in Camden where he was pronounced dead on arrival. Missey said McDore was not wearing a helmet or any other riding safety gear at the time of the accident. No one was cited in connection with the accident. Missey said there is an increase in four-wheelers riding in inappropriate locations around the county. People need to know that its illegal to ride a four-wheeler on a public street, Missey said. And a county road is a public street. Four-wheelers are, by manufacture standards, meant for off-road travel. Search | Nevada County Picayune by date | Gurdon Times by date |
