Two men are in hospital after a late night ATV ride didn’t end well. The Wood Buffalo RCMP says that one man was taken by ambulance to the Northern Lights Regional Health Centre, the other was airlifted from the scene to the hospital.
The crash took place between 11 p.m. and 11:30 p.m. on the access road to Janvier last night.
“When we arrived on scene it was a two vehicle ATV collision, one ATV rolled over and ejected the two occupants,” said Cst. Ashley Quallie. “One [ATV] actually crashed into the back of the other one. The vehicle that hit the front vehicle was the one that had the two people ejected.”
The riders in the other ATV weren’t injured.
“I haven’t been updated as to the injured occupants of the ATV, it is believed that both were not wearing helmets, that is a factor in the injuries sustained,” said Quallie.
Alcohol is believed to be a factor in the crash, no charges are pending.
