RIDGEFIELD TOWNSHIP -- The grief-stricken mother of 10-year-old Aaron C. Greene of Ridgefield Township, who died Sunday after an all-terrain vehicle flipped over on him, said her son will be greatly missed.
''We loved him very much, and we're going to miss him very much. That's really all I can say right now. He'll be greatly missed,'' said Sue Greene, 4320 River Road.
Aaron was driving the ATV when it flipped on him and his 14-year-old sister, according to the Huron County sheriff's Capt. Ted Patrick.
He and his sister were driving up a hill near the Blue Bridge area, according to reports. When they were about 50 feet up the hill, the four-wheel Honda 300 flipped over on them, trapping them both, said Patrick.
The girl was able to free herself from under the wreckage and ''managed to somehow get the four-wheeler off the boy, but he was unconscious,'' said Patrick.
The sheriff's department, North Central EMS and the Huron River Joint Fire District responded to the call while the children's father, Ron Greene, performed CPR on the boy, said Patrick.
Aaron was pronounced dead at Fisher-Titus Medical Center, said Patrick.
Huron County Coroner Jeffrey Harwood ruled the cause of death as blunt chest trauma.
''It's really very tragic. Obviously, the family is quite tore up,'' said Harwood, adding that ATV wrecks are fairly frequent occurrences for both children and adults.
''(Four-wheelers) are known to be pretty dangerous things,'' said Harwood.
A 14-year-old boy from Tennessee died June 10 in Lorain when he crashed an all-terrain vehicle in a wooded area near the FirstEnergy West Lorain Power Plant on West Erie Avenue. Kevin Green was visiting his brother who lived in Lorain.
Aaron's family told the deputies that the boy was wearing a safety helmet, his sister riding on the rear of the machine did not have a helmet and that Aaron had four years of experience riding the ATV, said Patrick.
Aaron, a lifelong resident of the area, had just completed the fourth grade at Monroeville Elementary School and was active in the Desperados 4-H Club and the 4-H Rabbit Club. He enjoyed outdoor activities, caring for the family's horses and rabbits and tinkering with bicycles.
