Two La Loche residents have been hospitalized with serious injuries after an ATV accident on Sunday night.

RCMP say the accident happened around 11:20 p.m. near a creek in the northern community.

A 37-year-old woman and 37-year-old man were riding the ATV on a quad trail when the front wheels locked, sending both over the handlebars.

Both victims were taken to the local hospital with serious injuries.

Neither rider was wearing a helmet.
