COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) - Authorities say a woman has died in an all-terrain vehicle accident at a state park north of Columbia.

The Columbia Daily Tribune reports that the crash happened Saturday on a trail at Finger Lakes State Park. Missouri State Highway Patrol Sgt. Matt Broniec says the preliminary investigation indicates the woman was driving the ATV up a steep hill when the vehicle rolled backward and crashed.

A friend who was riding a separate ATV led first responders about a half mile down the trail to where the accident happened. The woman died at the scene.

The woman was in her 40s but her name wasn’t immediately released.

Finger Lakes State Park is 15 miles north of Columbia.
