This event was one of what seemed like a long string of all-terrain vehicle incidents that have happened between 2019 and 2020.

This, of course, includes the infamous ATV crash where a young Buffalo woman crashed her ATV into the side of a building in North Buffalo.

No person shall operate an ATV on any public lands, waters and property other than a highway, except that an ATV may be operated on any such lands which have been designated and posted for travel by ATVs in accordance with the provisions of section twenty-four hundred five of this article.
Article 48-C of the NYS Vehicle and Traffic

Remember, it is not legal to drive an ATV on the public streets, or in city parks. According to the New York State Vehicle and Traffic Law, driving an all-terrain vehicle is only permitted in areas that have been specifically designated for them.
