Waco Tribune-Herald
A man died Thursday night after he was crushed by an ATV while hog hunting in Coryell County.
William King, 73, from Oglesby, was hunting with three other men on four-wheelers near county roads 315 and 344 at about 11:00 p.m. when the accident happened, said Coryell County Sheriff Johnny Burks.
When they approached the Leon River, King reportedly fell off the bank about 20 feet down, and the ATV fell on top of him, Burks said.
When King’s friends ran down to pull the four-wheeler off, he was initially responsive and said he was fine. They reportedly called 911, but in the time it took deputies and emergency medical personnel to arrive, King stopped breathing.
Justice of the Peace Coy Latham pronounced King dead on scene.
“It appears to be an accidental death,” Burks said.
“People have four-wheeler accidents all the time, and lots of people go out hog hunting at night. We have a lot of hogs in Coryell County, and it’s not unusual.”

Karma’s a “bi.tch”…

What comes around goes around.

Never thought I’d have a good thing to say about ATVs!
One less ATV-riding hog-hunter
Well, he’s one who won’t be aroused by sadistically killing animals anymore. It all must be a throwback to thousands of years ago when the most successful hunter came back to the compound with the big carcass prize (infused with special sauce) and possibly got rewarded by nooky with the least Neanderthal-like female (just like Raquel Welch depicted them in One Million Years BC) either before or after all the grunt-accompanied meat gorging was done, so soon the happy killers became aroused by the killing itself, leading to all sorts of bizarre, freakish behaviors. Makes one proud to be human, right? Anyhow, thanks for sharing yet another case of slightly just deserts. Good “possessed” ATV? 🙂
(Hope I don’t seem at all misanthropic here.)
What’s wrong with a little misanthropy.
As long as macho man consider animals as (a) ‘game’ I am afraid nothing wil change…
The Justice of the Peace also serves as county coroner? Does he deliver the mail and run the local tavern also?
So proud to be showing my misanthropy here!! This report made my day–keep the good news rolling in, Jim!
Keep showing your misanthropy, Rosemary; there’s more of us than you may think.
Which is really heartening.
I have to say, with 7 billion people dominating and destroying the planet, I have lost much concern for people and their never-ending problems and needs which predominate everything, and concern myself with protecting wildlife and wildlands wherever possible. So you can call me Mz. Anthropy too. 🙂
With humans, it’s all take take take and very little give back, so who cares about ’em anymore.
Lol!
It makes my heart glad to read all the above comments. I thought I was the only one cheering for the ATV.
Not here; we’re all cheering with you
