N. WISCONSIN – The DNR is encouraging safe riding amid high ATV/UTV fatalities this year.  27 people have died in fatal ATV and UTV accidents so far this year, ranging in age from 4-79-year-olds. Five of those fatalities took place within the last two weeks. This puts the state on pace to surpass last year’s total of 32 ATV and UTV fatalities.  At least 18 of the victims involved in ATV and UTV accidents were not wearing a helmet, and over half of the UTV victims were not wearing a seatbelt.  More DNR conservation wardens and local law enforcement will be on trails and routes statewide today through Sunday to increase safety.
