A Hope man was killed when the ATV he was driving struck a vehicle while turning on a highway Tuesday morning, state police say.
In a preliminary report, authorities said the accident occurred around 10:30 a.m. when Malcolm Dougan, 58, was driving east on the shoulder on U.S. 278 about 3 miles from Hope.
State police say Dougan made a left turn in front of an eastbound 2004 Lincoln, causing him to collide with the vehicle.
