GREENTOP, MO. -- A tragedy happened in northeast Missouri Tuesday night: a fatality involving an all-terrain vehicle.

It happened around 8 p.m. on the south side of Greentop.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol told KTVO the ATV operator, Dennis True, 63, of Greentop, was pronounced dead at the scene.

The neighbor who called it in told KTVO at the scene that she was watching “Dancing with the Stars” when she heard a noise outside.

She went to see what it was, and she saw a four-wheeler laying on its side in a shallow ditch right next to the street.

Those at the scene say True was pinned under the vehicle, but Trooper Adam Kinney said he believes a medical condition likely caused the crash.

The incident happened on South Main Street in Greentop.
