A Crawford County couple were killed when the ATV they were riding went off a Mountainburg bluff Saturday.
Richard Hammond and Jamie Shipman, 32, were both killed when the ATV Hammond was driving on his private property in Mountainburg went off a bluff at around 6 a.m. Saturday, according to Chief Deputy Jimmy Damante of the Crawford County Sheriff's Office.
"We don't know if it was because he couldn't see," Damante said. "It appears he came to the edge and tried to stop when he realized (there was a bluff), but it was too late and he went off the edge."
The bluff Hammond and Shipman fell from is 7 to 8 feet high. Their bodies were discovered 12 hours later at around 6 p.m. by Hammond's mother, Damante said.
Hammond, who was in his 30s and is survived by a daughter, and Shipman, who is survived by four children, had been dating for a couple of months, according to Damante.
