A Saline County teenager died Wednesday in a four-wheeler accident northwest of Salina.

Saline County Sheriff Roger Soldan said this morning that a 15-year-old boy was riding a four-wheeler in a field behind his family's home in the 4700 block of W. Pleasant Hill Road when he attempted to ride through a gate and instead struck a wire fence.

The accident occurred at approximately 12:30 p.m. Wednesday.

The boy was transported to Salina Regional Health Center where he later died, Soldan said.
