Florida ATV Accident Causes Serious Injuries
A pair of teens on an all-terrain vehicle smashed into a tree in Baker County Monday afternoon and are in serious condition.
Neither of the boys had a helmet on in the 3 p.m. accident, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
Michael Jewel, 17, of Sanderson was driving and Thomas Harvey, 17, of Glen St. Mary was the passenger. They were on Fredrick Raulerson Lane when they lost control of the ATV, the Highway Patrol said.
These types of ATV accidents highlight the dangers involved in riding on one of these powerful vehicles. While riding on an ATV can be a lot of fun it can also be very dangerous. Wearing a helmet while riding on an ATV is a necessary precaution and can help prevent serious injuries should an accident occur.
Let's hope these two boys make a full recovery.
