MOST WATCHED STATION,
THIS IS WCCO 4 NEWS.
H,LLO, THANKS FOR JOINING
US A FAMILY IS
MOURNING THE LOSS OF FIVE-YEAR-
OLD BOY AFTER AN
ACCIDENT.
THAT LITTLE BOY WAS AT THE
WHEEL.
IT HAPPENED ON SATURDAY JUST
WEST OF SPICER WHERE
WESLEY NATIVE WAS VISITING HIS
GRAND PARENTS.
HIS MOTHER SAID HE WAS SPENDING
THE DAY WITH THEM AS
THEY FINISHED PAINTING THEIR
APARTMENT.
WHEN NO ONE WAS LOOKING, WESLEY
GRABBED THE KEY TO
THE ATV, PULLED THE COIL TO
START IT, And THEN
TOOK OFF.
I CAN'T START IT.
YOU CAN'T JUST TURN A KEY AND
START IT.
DOESN'T -- BUT IT STARTED.
Reporter:  WESLEY'S FAMILY
DESCRIBED THE
FIVE-YEAR-OLD AS AN
INDEPENDENT, OUTGOING CHILD WHO
LOVED PLAYING OUTDOORS,
ESPECIALLY AT HIS
GRANDPARENTS' HOME NEAR GEORGE
LAKE.
I WAS GETTING READY TO WALK
OUT THE DOOR TO JUST
GO PICK HIM UP.
SO IS THERE GUILT?
YEAH, THERE'S A LOT OF GUILT,
BECAUSE WHAT IF I HAD
JUST LEFT 0 MINUTES EARLIER.
Reporter:  WESLEY'S
GRANDMOTHER SAID SHE WAS IN
THE KITCHEN MAKING SNACKS FOR
HIM AND HIS
GRANDFATHER HAD BEEN PLAYING
WITH HIM OUTSIDE, BUT
WENT INDOORS TO GO TO THIS
BATHROOM.
THAT'S WHAT IT IS: AN
ACCIDENT.
I WANT THEM TO KNOW HE PROBABLY
HAD THE BIGGEST
SMILE ON HIS FACE, AND HE WAS
AT HIS HAPPIEST.
HE WAS AT HIS HAPPIEST ON THAT
FOUR-WHEELER.
Reporter:  THE FAMILY SAID
WESLEY SUFFERED A
SEVERE INJURY IN THE ATV CRASH
THAT LEFT HIM
BRAIN-DEAD INSTANTLY.
YES IT HURT.
MY HEART JUST ACHES.
. IT ACHES.
IT'S TORN.
BUT I KNOW MY SON IS WITH -- MY
SON IS WITH GOOD.
HE IS RUNNING UP THERE, PLAYING
AROUND.
EVERYTHING IS SO GLORIOUS UP
THERE.
HE DOESN'T FEEL PAIN, AND
THAT'S HOW I'M OKAY.
THAT IS HOW I'M OKAY.
I KNOW HE DOESN'T FEEL PAIN.
Reporter:  LATE THIS
AFTERNOON, TWO HOURS AGO, THE
FAMILY RECEIVED WORD, AN UPDATE
ON THE ORGAN
DONATION PROCESS.
THEY LEARNED WESLEY'S CHILD
