The Missouri State Highway Patrol says the accident occurred when the 2017 Polaris Sportsman 570 driven by 21 year old Elijah H. Hansen of Blue Springs, Missouri failed to negotiate a curve, traveled through some trees and struck a tree ejecting the rider.
Mr. Hansen sustained serious injuries in this accident and he was transported to Bates County Memorial Hospital in Butler for treatment.
The ATV was totaled and left at the scene of the accident for later removal.
