A woman riding an ATV died after her ex-boyfriend struck her with a go-kart, according to an Arizona sheriff’s office.

Mohave County deputies said they arrived on scene in Meadview after a report of a quad and go-kart collision shortly after 1:30 a.m. on Friday, July 28, according to a July 31 Facebook post from the sheriff’s office.

Sally Minard, 32, of Meadview, was taken to a hospital with “severe injuries” and later died, deputies said.

After an investigation, deputies said they determined “the collision was a criminal act, not just a vehicle collision.”

The go-kart driver, 40-year-old John Stettler, was arrested and is facing a second-degree murder charge, deputies said.

Deputies said they are investigating the incident.

Meadview is on the border of Nevada, about 115 miles southeast of Las Vegas.
