On May 21, 2021, at 5 p.m., Hinton RCMP received a call of a serious all-terrain-vehicle (ATV) rollover in the Brule sand dune area near the Town of Hinton.

Hinton RCMP attended, along with emergency medical services, and a 21-year-old female from Devon, Alta., was taken to hospital for treatment; however, did not survive and was later declared deceased at hospital. The name of the female will not be released.

The Hinton RCMP preliminary investigation indicates the female was operating the ATV down a large incline and lost control, rolling the ATV.
