Tanner Morse was operating an 80cc Yamaha four-wheeler by himself on property owned by his grandfather, 49-year-old Craig Morse. The child’s father, 24-year-old Cody Morse, found his son unconscious about 200 feet from the home.
It appears the boy attempted to drive up an incline. The machine rolled backwards and landed on top of him. The helmet was off the boy but near the machine. Witnesses observed the boy wearing the helmet earlier. This incident remains under investigation by the Maine Warden Service in cooperation with the Penobscot County District Attorneys Office.
