Carson City sheriff’s deputies responded early Sunday night to an accident involving an all-terrain quad vehicle, about 3 miles up a canyon on the east side of Carson City off Deer Run and Sedge roads. It appears to be an accident-related fatality and a coroner was called to the scene, said Carson City Sheriff Ken Furlong.
"I arrived and we have someone there with the body now. Our coroner will be going there," said Furlong, who confirmed it was a fatality. The body was discovered by two others on quads, he said, and that the accident had already happened prior to their arriving and seeing the body.
The victim is reportedly a man, possibly around 50 years of age, according to deputies via dispatch, though this hasn't been confirmed.
