A Memphis man died Friday in Issaquena County when his four-wheeler fell on him as he was unloading it from his pickup, Sharkey County chief deputy Stanley Coleman said.

William Burks, 71, was found by friends about 6:06 p.m. pinned under the off-road vehicle near the River View Hunting Camp in the Delta National Forest in Issaquena County, Coleman said. Sharkey County authorities handled the case under a mutual aid agreement with Issaquena. Deputy Sharkey County Corner Butch Walker said Burks was dead at the scene.

“We are investigating this as an accident,” Coleman said. “He was last seen by friends at the hunting camp about 2:30. We received the call at 6:06.”
