A tragic ATV accident Friday night has left Penn State wide receiver Julian Fleming seriously injured and claimed the life of 23-year-old Alyssa Boyd, his girlfriend and passenger at the time of the crash.
According to Pennsylvania State Police, the incident occurred around 8:13 p.m. on Painter Lick Lane in Bradford County. Investigators say the ATV, operated by Fleming, collided with a deer that suddenly entered the roadway while traveling north.
