OSCEOLA, N.Y. --
Richard D. Shaw, 52, was operating a 2012 Arctic Cat ATV shortly before 9:30 p.m. Saturday in the town of Osceola when five other people riding with him noticed he was no longer following them, troopers said. The group back tracked and found Shaw laying on his back next to his ATV near 2508 Prince Brook Road in Osceola. The ATV was still running and against a telephone pole after the crash, troopers said. State police and Redfield firefighters responded to the scene.
A state police investigation showed Shaw was traveling south on Prince Brook Road at a high rate of speed when he failed to negotiate a right hand curve, the news release said. The ATV left the east shoulder of the road and struck the telephone pole head on, state police said.
