College football player killed in ATV crash in Campbell County, Kentucky

CAMPBELL COUNTY, Ky. (WKYT) - 

Investigators said Monday an ATV crash has killed a college football player in northern Kentucky. 

The Campbell County Police Department says Mitchell Kramer, 21, was found dead around 2:30 Monday morning along Rifle Range Road. Kramer was the only person riding the ATV. 

Hundreds of faculty members and students held a candle light vigil Monday night in Kramer's honor. 

Thomas More College leaders said Kramer was a junior there and a member of the school's football team.

Police are not sure what caused the crash. ATVs are very dangerous and people have died or injured riding them.  Doing so at night is almost the same as a death wish as the risk is very high.

Mitch's family has set up a GoFundMe page to raise money for funeral expenses as well as a scholarship in his name.
