The RCMP are investigating an ATV accident in Dillon that sent a youth to hospital with serious injuries on Sunday afternoon.

 

Spokesman Sgt. Brad Kaeding says the 17-year-old was a passenger on an ATV that rear-ended a stopped car waiting to enter the community from the highway.

 

The victim was then ejected from the ATV into the opposite highway lane, where he was run over by an oncoming truck.

 

Kaeding says the youth remains in serious condition.

 

No one else was injured.

 

No charges have been laid, but Kaeding is not ruling out that possibility.
