(KAIR)--Two 12-year-old children required hospital treatment Thursday after the ATV they were aboard crashed and rolled over on what Doniphan County authorities describe as “an unmaintained county road.”
According to a social media post from the Doniphan County Sheriff's Department, one of the children was driving, with the other a passenger, at the time of the Thursday afternoon wreck.
The young driver, the department says, lost control of the 4-wheeler, causing it to rollover.
Both children were transported to Mosaic Life Care, in St. Joseph, Missouri, for treatment of unspecified injuries.
Their names are not made public.
The Department closes the release with the reminder that “ATVs can only be driven on county roads by a person with valid driver's license.”
