An Initial investigation showed that a side by side ORV driven by 56-year-old William Keith Webb of Vincennes was traveling northbound on Deer Trail when it left the gravel drive and overturned.  Webb was ejected and pinned beneath the vehicle.  

Webb was transported by ambulance to Good Samaritan Hospital where he was pronounced dead.  An autopsy will be scheduled early this week.  The investigation is still ongoing.
