A 20-year-old Inverness woman died Friday afternoon when the all-terrain-vehicle on which she was a passenger flipped in Crystal River, authorities said.
Terri Lynn Benoit was thrown when the driver of the ATV lost control of the vehicle at about 4 p.m. in a field behind 8325 West Orangetree St., according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
Eric Lee Stokes, 22, of Crystal River, who was driving the 2010 Polaris ATV, and who was Benoit's boyfriend, also was thrown, the patrol reported. Stokes had minor injuries.
When Stokes lost control of the vehicle, it rotated and then overturned onto its right side, coming to rest against a fence.
The accident is under investigation.
