A 13-year-old boy from a farm near Arborfield, Sask., is dead after an ATV accident.

RCMP said the boy was driving the ATV through a field from his farm to his grandparents’ farm. He tried to go between two fence posts where he always drove and where the barbed wire was supposed to be down.

The wire caught the ATV and the vehicle rolled.

The boy died on his way to hospital. His name has not been released.
