SALEM, Ore. (AP) — Friends of a Silverton High School student who loved farming and was fatally injured an ATV crash on the family farm painted a bench in front of the high school in green and yellow John Deere colors in his memory.
Seventeen-year-old Bradley Jensen was an FFA student. He had been working Saturday on the farm near Silverton when his four-wheeler ATV hit a hole and threw him over the handlebars.
The Statesman Journal reports (http://bit.ly/omBion ) he was flown to a Portland hospital where he died Sunday from his injuries.
His grandmother, Jane Jensen, said he had planted some of his own crops, and he has a field of wheat that will be harvested for him.
