HENDERSONVILLE, S.C. (AP) -- A 12-year-old girl identified as Calista Smith has died after a wreck on an all-terrain vehicle in Colleton County.

The Post and Courier of Charleston reported rescue crews were called to a home near Hendersonville shortly after 1:30 p.m. Monday.

Colleton County Fire and Rescue Director Barry McRoy says witnesses said some children at a birthday party were driving two all-terrain vehicles in the woods behind the house when one of the vehicles rolled over.

Smith was treated by paramedics and was flown to the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston where she died. Her name has not been released.

A second child was taken to Colleton Medical Center and was in stable condition with a leg injury.
