Weld County coroner's investigators released the name of a Cheyenne, Wyo., man who died Saturday when his all-terrain vehicle overturned on him in northern Weld County.

Gregory F. Robertson, 47, died shortly before 5 p.m. Saturday on the west edge of Pawnee National Grasslands. Weld sheriff's reports stated Robertson was on his ATV and climbing a steep hill when the vehicle overturned backward and crushed him. He died of blunt force injury to the chest and abdomen, according to the Weld County Coroner's Office.

The coroner's office notified the Consumer Product Safety Commission of the fatality because the ATV was a commercial product.

Because the crash occurred off the road, the death will not be added to the Weld County traffic fatality toll.
