Authorities say a 23-year-old Hastings woman is dead after she was thrown from an all-terrain vehicle.
Adams County Sheriff Gregg Magee says Kelly M. Gilbert was driving an ATV on a private road southwest of Juniata when she struck a ditch and was ejected into trees.
Magee says Gilbert suffered head trauma. She was not wearing a helmet.
The accident was reported around 11:30 p.m. Friday.
Gilbert was flown to a Lincoln hospital, where she was pronounced dead early Saturday.
Authorities continue to investigate. Magee says based on a statement from a witness, alcohol may be a factor in the crash.

Let those who ride decide,I refuse to wear a helmet.When I retire in Arizona then I'll buy my next Harley.No helmet laws in Arizona like the states around us.

Sounds like "T" thinks it is impractical to wear a real D.O.T. helmet.Maybe while "t" and "t"'s buddies are bar hopping on thier "cruisers" and wearing thier fake dot labeled "skid lids" they feel invincable.That would give "T" and "T"'s buddies a Darwin Award?

Our Communist helmet law is a bunch of B.S.Go back to 1989 and see how much revenue was lost when they passed this law.Registrations were down about a third in this state,what next Jet Skiis so there is more drownings.We always have to be different than the other bordering states.
