ATV Causes Serious Injuries After Landing On Local Man

Local police were called to an accident over the weekend in Flume Ridge.


District 1 RCMP say the call came around 2:30 Saturday afternoon, of a man who was seriously injured while driving an ATV.

Sgt. Bob MacKnight says it appears the ATV went end over end, landing on top of the man.

Paramedics arrived via all-terrained-vehicle, and the man was taken to a hospital in Fredericton.

MacKnight says this is the second incident, within the past 10 days, of an AVT operator being seriously injured.
