A 13-year-old Imperial boy died early Sunday from injuries he sustained in an ATV crash Saturday afternoon in Mt. Pleasant Township.


According to a report from the Allegheny County medical examiner, Cody Stickley, 13, was involved in a crash at 3:45 p.m. Saturday in the 200 block of Kelso Road, McDonald.


He was taken to a hospital in Pittsburgh, where he died at 2:48 a.m. Sunday.


Stickley was a junior off-road racer for Coraopolis-based Lunova Racing. According to Lunova’s website, Stickley participated in three major racing series last year, including the American Woods Racing Challenge Series, the Eastern Racing Off-road Championship and the Grand National Cross Country Series. According to the website, Stickley was recognized as class champion with three wins and seven podium placements during the AWRCS, and was a runner-up in the EROC.


Representatives of Lunova Racing said Sunday they have “no comment at this time out of respect for the family.”


Stickley’s father, Jason, and younger brother Cooper are also listed as racers on the website.


A GoFundMe account has been started by the Stickley family and more than $16,000 was raised as of Sunday afternoon.


On the fundraiser page, the family asked for prayers and donations.


“To put into words our love for Cody is an impossible feat,” the page reads. “We ask that you help his parents, Jason and Kristin, and his younger brother, Cooper, in their time of need.”
