The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office came to the scene. In addition, there was North Ambulance, Kensington First Responders, and Hoffman Ambulance. Finally, the State Patrol, and Minnesota Department of Natural Resources helped with traffic control and the investigation. The person riding on the ATV sustained severe injuries and was airlifted to the St. Cloud Hospital. Unfortunately, nothing could be done. The crash remains under investigation.
Of course, riding an ATV is fun. However, it also leaves the driver and passenger exposed to serious injury or death. Distracted driving because of cellphones or other devices is too common. A car can hit an ATV driving on the side of the road or in an intersection, causing serious injury or death.
