A 13-year-old Sampson County boy died when the all-terrain vehicle he was riding on overturned.

Troopers say the driver lost control, and MacKinley Waters was thrown from the ATV and died instantly. Waters was a straight A-student and football player at Midway Middle School in Dunn.

Authorities said two other passengers in the Polaris Side-by-Side utility vehicle, ages 12 and 13, were not seriously injured.
