An ATV crash Sunday that left a 7-year-old boy dead is the fourth deadly accident at Hog Waller Mud Bog and ATV Park in Putnam County since 2019.

Two children were seriously injured in an all-terrain vehicle crash Tuesday evening in Baker County, the Florida Highway Patrol said.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. While students have been learning at home instead of inside the classroom because of the coronavirus pandemic, doctors have seen a dramatic increase in the number of children in the hospital with all-terrain vehicle-related injuries. This year, Crandall said, doctors have seen five to ten incidents a month and up to two or three deaths every month, mostly because of ATV traumatic brain injuries. Repeated concussions and head injuries can be very dangerous for long-term behavioral and cognitive outcomes, she said. According to the Highway Patrol, one of the vehicles overturned after the driver overcorrected, and the second ATV driver tried to avoid the overturned ATV and ended up flipping over. We know helmets decrease injuries and decrease the likelihood of dying if you strike your head, Crandall said.
