A Yamaha Rhino ATV claimed another life May 16, 2008 when a 15-year-old Arizona boy died of injuries suffered in a rollover accident. According to AZFamily.com “Maricopa County Sheriff’s Investigators said the boy was among four teens riding on the small four-wheeled vehicle called a Rhino when it overturned near 102nd Avenue and Jomax Road at about 4:00pm.”

This tragedy is the latest in a long list of Rhino accidents in which people have been killed or injured in Rhino rollovers. The ATV Attorney Alliance calls on Yamaha Motor Corp. to recall the Rhinos to remedy the defective design that creates a propensity for the Rhino to roll over.
