A juvenile riding a side-by-side died after being pinned underneath the vehicle during a crash in Melbourne, according to police.
The crash occurred Friday in the area of Lakemont and Lakehill roads, the Melbourne Police Department said in a news release.
The side-by-side — described as an Arctic Cat model — rolled onto its side when its operator failed to negotiate a turn while traveling north on Lakehill Road, the release states.
The juvenile was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead, police said.
It did not appear at the time of this report that alcohol or drugs were a factor in the crash, according to the release.
