A Jonesboro man is dead after an ATV accident. The victim is identified as 28-year-old Stephen Wheaton.

Investigators believe Wheaton was riding the four-wheel ATV on Tuesday evening.

His body was discovered Wednesday about 7:30 a.m. near Route 146 and Berryville Road in Union County. A passing motorist spotted the wrecked ATV.

Investigators say the vehicle rolled down an embankment, and into a creek pinning him underneath it. Wheaton was pronounced dead at the scene.

Funeral arrangements are pending at the Rendleman and Hileman Funeral Home in Jonesboro.
