The accident happened Tuesday afternoon near Nashua. The Iowa State Patrol says Larry Moine was igniting some grass fires on his property when he tried to ascend a steep embankment. 

The ATV didn't make it and instead rolled atop him. Authorities say he was pronounced dead later at Floyd County Medical Center in Charles City.
