Love County Undersheriff Jason Bone told television station KWTV an all-terrain vehicle was pulling 55-gallon barrels that had been hollowed out so kids could sit in them during the ride. He says the ATV was pulling seven of the barrels when the barrels overturned about 5:45 p.m. Friday.

He says the 8-year-old girl was pronounced dead at a Marietta hospital. The Oklahoma Highway Patrol identified the child as Jaylen Wolf of Marietta.

Four other children ranging from ages 3 to 8 were hospitalized.

The ATV’s driver was not injured. The Love County Sheriff’s Office and the OHP are investigating the accident.
