Fatal ATV Accident In Wayne County
Herbert Estep and his wife, Elsie, were found dead on Trough Fork Road near Little Harts Creek in Wayne County, near the Lincoln County line, following an ATV accident. Harts Volunteer Fire Department officials say their grandson, 20 year old Christopher Kinder, called 911 just after 9:00 A.M. Thursday to say he was injured in an ATV accident but didn’t know where he was located. Dispatchers were able to communicate with him several times off and on for more than two hours before he was finally located. Kinder was flown to St. Mary’s Hospital where he is listed in stable condition. Crews continued to search the area for Estep and his wife before locating them just before 1:00 P.M.
