Tragic ATV Wreck Kills Franklinton Woman

In a terrible wreck, a young woman from Franklinton died on Monday from injuries she suffered Friday while riding an ATV near the Mitchiners Crossroads community.  According to the article on WRAL.com, Ms. Niki Edwards was riding the ATV when she struck a cable strung across the road.  Click here for more.

I have seen alot of comments on the WRAL site about who is to blame for this wreck.  This is certainly a tragedy and possibly one that could have been avoided.  Certainly, if someone put the cable across a road without marking the cable, that could be the basis for liability.  There are numerous facts that would be important to sorting this out but, either way, a young life was lost.
