(BICKNELL) - Indiana Conservation Officers are investigating an ATV accident that resulted in a 7-year-old child being hospitalized.
Elijah Green of Bicknell was operating a small dirt bike and was unable to stop before hitting a fence and a light pole.
He was transported to Good Samaritan Hospital in Vincennes and then to St. Mary's Hospital in Evansville by ambulance for treatment of a leg injury.
The accident happened around 12:30 pm along an alley near Alexander Street in Bicknell on Sunday.
The ATV was the appropriate size for him and he was wearing protective gear including a helmet, which may have reduced the severity of his injuries.
Responding agencies included Bicknell Police Department, Knox County EMS, Bicknell Fire Department and Indiana Conservation Officers.
