A Jacksonville teen and a 9-year-old boy are both badly injured after two ATV accidents this weekend in Baker County.
The Florida Highway Patrol says 18-year-old Matthew Williams was riding off Cow Pen Road around 3:00 Sunday afternoon when he lost control, fell off, and was crushed by the ATV.
He was flown to Shands Jacksonville, where he's in critical condition.
Meanwhile, a 9 year old boy is also in critical condition after a separate ATV accident later that afternoon.
William Coburn was riding with 26 year old Nathaniel Ryan when they lost control and hit a tree on private property off Crews Road.
An alcohol test on Ryan is pending. The FHP says charges are also pending.
That SUCKS!
Especially the young one. I hate to hear things like that. Alcohol and probably no helmets.
