State police say a unit ridden by 37-year-old James Ryan Egelston and 40-year-old Melissa Wood, both of Olney, skidded off the road and into a ditch at 10:47pm Saturday.  The unit then overturned, throwing both occupants off the vehicle.

The crash, which occurred in the Ste. Marie area, is still under investigation as authorities are still determining who was operating the ATV.
