Investigators said the teen boy was driving a blue-and-black Polaris Ranger through a private field with two other juvenile passengers when he lost control negotiating a curve.
The vehicle left the main path as the driver attempted to correct its course, causing the UTV to roll onto its left side, ejecting all three occupants.
The 16-year-old driver was pronounced dead at the scene. The two other juveniles were treated and released at the scene, but were later taken to the hospital by their parents as a precaution.
The sheriff’s office said that none of the occupants were wearing seatbelts at the time of the crash.
Deputies said that alcohol does not seem to have been a factor.
