(Jennings County, Ind.) – Two juveniles were injured in an off-road vehicle accident on Tuesday.
Indiana Conservation Officers responded to the accident just after 11:00 a.m. near the 9000 block of County Road 850 West in Paris Crossing.
The initial investigation shows a 14-year-old juvenile was operating a side-by-side ORV on the roadway and lost control, causing the vehicle to roll onto the driver’s side and pinning the occupants underneath.
Indiana Conservation Officers say the two juveniles were not wearing helmets or safety harnesses at the time of the accident.
The operator was airlifted to Norton Hospital in Louisville with serious injuries. The juvenile passenger was transported to an area hospital with minor injuries.
Indiana law requires riders younger than 18 to wear a Department of Transportation approved helmet. More information on ORV laws and safe operating procedures is at offroad-ed.com/in/handbook/ and on.IN.gov/offroading.
