ALLENPORT, Pa. (AP) — A 13-year-old boy has died after losing control of his all-terrain vehicle in western Pennsylvania.

State police say the crash happened Thursday afternoon in Allenport, about 25 miles southeast of Pittsburgh.

Police say the ATV rolled and Keegan hit a tree. Keegan was not wearing a helmet.

The boy was pronounced dead at a local hospital.
