Sheriff Jeff Danker identified the victim of the accident as 46-year old Bruce Campbell, of rural Neola.  Danker told KJAN News the accident took place in a farm field northeast of Teakwood and 240th Street. It happened when the Kawasaki ATV was traveling north, up an incline. When the machine  met a terrace, it became airborne and Campbell was ejected.
