KINGMAN, AZ (AZFamily)<\/b> \u2014 The parents of a 13-year-old Kingman girl are speaking out after she died following an ATV accident on Father\u2019s Day, urging other families to understand the dangers of all-terrain vehicles.<\/p>\n

Myah Dennis, who was about to enter the 8th grade, was riding on the back of a 750cc quad on June 21 when the ATV flipped after hitting a large rut. Her 16-year-old sister, Kaitlyn, was driving. Both girls were wearing helmets.<\/p>\n

The quad pinned both sisters to the ground. Kaitlyn said her phone was not working initially, delaying contact with emergency dispatchers.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy phone wasn\u2019t working. It was really hot and overheating. Her phone finally worked and I was talking to the dispatcher and they still couldn\u2019t find us,\u201d Kaitlyn said.<\/p>\n

Myah\u2019s parents received crash alerts through the Life360 app on their phones. Myah\u2019s stepfather, James McClure, said he did not expect the situation to be as serious as it was.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m like there\u2019s no way. I was thinking they maybe flipped the quad and couldn\u2019t flip it back over. It wasn\u2019t going through my head that they were actually in danger. We still rushed out as fast as we could,\u201d James McClure said.<\/p>\n

James and Kaitlyn\u2019s boyfriend, Jordyn, reached the girls before EMS arrived.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy daughter\u2019s boyfriend threw the quad off of them and I saw Myah. She already turned blue in the face. I checked for her heart rate and breathing \u2014 she had none. I started CPR,\u201d James said.<\/p>\n

EMS arrived shortly after, and Myah was flown to a Las Vegas hospital, where she spent nearly two weeks. On July 3, her family said goodbye and chose to donate her organs.<\/p>\n

Myah was given a Hero Walk, also known as an Honor Walk, in which she was transported through the hospital hallway as family, friends, and staff lined it to honor her for donating her organs.<\/p>\n

\u201cEverybody showed up. She was hopefully in spirit there and shown how loved she actually was,\u201d Nicole said.<\/p>\n

James and Nicole McClure said they want two lessons to come from their daughter\u2019s death. The first is that ATVs are dangerous for teens.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf I would\u2019ve been out there with my daughter, I wouldn\u2019t have been able to pick up that quad at all. It\u2019s so heavy. I don\u2019t think there\u2019s enough information out there for other families to realize how easily those quads flip,\u201d Nicole said.<\/p>\n

The family also wants parents to know about a paid version of the Life360 app that alerts emergency dispatchers when a crash is detected. According to Life360.com, a dispatcher first attempts to call the phone that detected the crash. If there is no answer, the dispatcher contacts emergency services and provides the location of the suspected crash. The feature starts at $14.99 per month, according to the Life360 website.<\/p>\n

Myah\u2019s family has set up a crowdfunding page to help with medical and funeral expenses: gofundme.com\/f\/hope-for-myah-support-nikkis-family<\/p>\n
