(KLZA)-- Three Atchison County, Missouri juveniles were injured when an ATV they were in overturned into a ditch Monday evening about 6:30.

The Missouri Highway Patrol reports the ATV was westbound on 300th Street,  three miles south of Fairfax when the operator lost control and the ATV skidded off the road and overturned into the ditch, coming to rest on its side.

The victims included a 12-year-old female from Rock Port, who was driving. She sustained serious injuries and was transported by private vehicle to the Hospital in Fairfax,  a 15-year-old male who was also seriously injured and a 14-year-old male who suffered moderate injuries.  

Both of the boys were from  Fairfax. They were transported by the Atchison-Holt Ambulance to Community Hospital in Fairfax. 

None of the occupants of the ATV were wearing safety devices at the time of the wreck. 

The Atchison County Sheriff's Department and the Fairfax Fire Department both assisted at the scene.
