Byron woman, 55, dies after ATV flips
BYRON, Minn. (AP) -- A woman in southeastern Minnesota has died after the all-terrain vehicle she was riding hit a rut and flipped over. The driver and two other passengers suffered minor injuries.
Olmsted County authorities identified the woman as 55-year-old Diane Vincent of Byron.
