A Statesville-area teenager died Saturday from injuries he sustained when the four-wheeler he was driving crashed, authorities said.

Jesse Dale Evans, 16, hit a tree and was dead at the scene, said Det. Andy Poteat with the Iredell County Sheriff's Office. It appears that Evans' injuries from hitting the tree caused his death, Poteat said, but the medical examiner's report is not complete.

His body was found lying in the grass on Jimmy Drive off Shiloh Road by someone driving by who noticed an idle four-wheeler running, Poteat said.

Evans was not wearing a helmet. State law requires four-wheeler operators to wear a helmet at all times.

Evans was about half a mile from his house and driving alone, Poteat said.
