Grand Island Boy Dies In ATV Crash

A 9-year-old Nebraska boy is dead following an all-terrain vehicle crash on private property near Grand Island.

The Hall County Sheriff’s office says Jack Tanner Thompson was driving the ATV Friday evening about a mile northwest of the Central Nebraska Regional Airport in Grand Island when the crash happened.

Investigators say the boy lost control of the ATV. It crashed against a parked vehicle and came to rest on top of the boy.

He was taken by ambulance to a Grand Island hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
