GoFundMe: Payton Strain Obituary, Payton Strain Dies In An Accident

A 12-year-old girl died on Saturday in Bush after the all-terrain vehicle she was driving struck a tree, according to the St. Tammany Parish coroner’s office.

Payton Strain was driving near the Hialeah and Churchill Downs roads when the ATV crashed. She was taken to a local hospital and, later, to Children’s Hospital in New Orleans, where she died.

The St. Tammany Parish Sheriff’s Office is conducting an investigation into the accident.

“All too often families are devastated by accidents involving ATVs,” Charles Preston, the coroner, said in a prepared statement. He added: “The coroner’s office staff joins me and the victim’s family and friends … in mourning this loss of life and in urging parents to take the greatest possible precautions in allowing children to drive an ATV alone or without attentive supervision.”

Strain is at least the second girl to die following an ATV accident in the parish. On April 26, 14-year-old Samia Rogers died after the ATV she was riding on with another girl crashed into a tree. Neither was wearing a helmet, according to authorities.

Preston encouraged anyone riding an ATV to do so while wearing a helmet.
