Elderly Liberty County man killed in ATV accident

An 86-year-old Liberty County man was killed last week in an ATV accident. The Highway Patrol said Joseph Hardy of Bristol died while riding a 2007 Honda ATV on a private dirt roadway just off Rockville Road. Mister Hardy was riding the ATV just before 5 o’clock last Monday afternoon when his back tires lost traction on the road causing the ATV to flip over. Mister Hardy was thrown from the vehicle, which then landed on top of him. He was taken to Tallahassee Memorial Hospital where he died 2 days later from his injuries.
