By Herald-Tribune staff

A 25-year-old Fort McMurray man is dead following a quad accident near the McLeod Flats early Sunday morning.

According to police, the deceased along with a friend left their campsite some time after midnight to attend a party in the area.

On route the friend lost sight of the deceased's quad.

The friend attended the party, not knowing the location of the first quad.

RCMP said the friend located the deceased at 7 a.m. in the vicinity McLeod Flats which is located south on Highway 40.

Early investigation indicates that the deceased failed to negotiate a curve in the road, and drove into the bush, reportedly striking a tree.

Alcohol is believed to have been a factor.

That sucks, no matter what, if you got alcohol in your blood, turn in your keys. That should apply to any motor vehicle.

My bad. It sounded like buddy was just like "oh well" and went to party then stumbled upon him on his way home....
Either way still really sad so young to go........

If its the guy I'm thinking of,(on a Renegade 800) he was from GP, and ran with a close knit group. I doubt they would have left him....
