Two 15-year-olds were injured in an ATV accident in the town of Ridgeville on Saturday, according to Monroe County Sheriff Peter Quirin.
Hunter L. Marty of Sparta was eastbound on Kellogg Avenue, at Kermit Avenue, when he slowed to make a corner. Traveling behind Marty, Gage AC Kroger, also of Sparta, did not see him slow down, crashing his ATV into the back of Marty’s ATV. Both teenagers sustained non-life-threatening injuries in the crash, which occurred at about 8:43 p.m.
MedLink Air transported Kroger to the Gundersen Lutheran Medical Center in La Crosse, and the Wilton Ambulance Service transported Marty to Mayo Clinic Sparta Campus.
The Norwalk Fire Department, Norwalk First Responders and the Sparta Area Ambulance also assisted the Monroe County Sheriff’s Department, which is investigating the crash.
