Florida Teen Dies Following Head-On ATV Crash Without Wearing A Helmet

A Florida teen who was seriously injured when his all-terrain vehicle crashed head-on into a tree has died.

The crash happened Saturday when 17-year-old Sean Stokes was "just riding around" on a hard-top dirt road in Citra. 

Florida Highway Patrol says the boy was not wearing a helmet when his 2004 ATV Yamaha Raptor veered off the road and onto the shoulder before crashing into a group of trees. Officials say Stokes did appear to be wearing goggles. 

He was taken to Ocala Regional Medical Center with severe head injuries.

Stokes was pronounced dead of his injuries Sunday.
