KAMSACK, Sask. – A Saskatchewan teen is facing a number of charges after another teen was killed while riding a stolen ATV. It happened on July 1 in Kamsack.
An off-duty Mountie spotted the ATV with three men onboard being driven erratically around 3:15 a.m. on Queen Elizabeth Boulevard.
A few minutes later, the driver of the ATV flagged down the off-duty officer near the Kamsack sports ground, saying one passenger had been seriously injured.
The passenger, 18-year-old Brandon Cote from the Cote First Nation, died at the scene. His cause of death has not been released.
It was later determined the ATV had been stolen from Madge Lake, Sask.
