"Deputies were informed that several juveniles were on the ATV when the accident occurred, causing severe injuries to one of the juveniles. [The] juvenile was found to have no vital signs and pronounced deceased at the scene by JP Vidal," a statement from the sheriff's office reads. 

The family confirmed to Channel 5 News that 11-year-old Ricky Olivarez died in the crash. 

The rest of the juveniles were taken to Starr County Hospital. One of the juveniles was transferred to a McAllen hospital and is listed in stable condition, the sheriff's office said.
