(Dillsboro, Ind.) – A GoFund Me fundraiser has been set up to assist the family of a 13-year-old that was badly injured in an off-road vehicle accident earlier this month.

Indiana Conservation Officers responded to the crash in the 6200 block of East County Road 450 South near Dillsboro on April 9.

It was there that a 13-year-old male lost control of his ORV and collided with a tree. The teen was transported to St. Elizabeth Dearborn and was later airlifted to UC Medical Center.

According to the GoFundMe page, the victim’s injuries were extensive, and he remains in ICU with 24-hour nurses.

A $15,000 goal has been set to help the victim’s family offset medical expenses.

To date, more than $3,600 has been raised.
