LOGAN, Utah — A Logan, Utah man is dead following an ATV accident Sunday evening.
The man, identified as 35-year-old Core Pimentel, was riding his ATV along a segment of the Shoshone Trail in the Herd Hollow area in Cache County. His six-year-old son was also riding on the same ATV. Both of them were wearing helmets.

Pimentel sustained head injuries from striking a rock on the ground and was killed. His six-year-old son was not harmed in the accident.
Cache County Sheriff’s Office responded to the incident and Utah State Parks Rangers will be investigating how the accident occurred.
