The fire department did initial patient care and monitored traffic access until the ambulance arrived. Steeves says the woman faced “serious injuries.”
The driver of the ATV was not injured.
Steeves said his crew responded quite quickly, but it would be easier to respond if the area had cell service.
The accident occurred in the area of Pollett River. It was reported by a nearby resident.
