MONKTON, MARYLAND–A 16-year-old boy died Saturday at York Hospital following an ATV accident in Maryland last week.

Misael Masarigos-Castillo, of Pikesville, Maryland, had been working as a landscaper on a property in Monkton, Maryland when the accident happened Friday, according to the York County Coroner’s office.

The teens parents reportedly live in Guatemala–but he had been living in Maryland with family members.
