One Killed In ATV Accident Monday Afternoon

Three others were taken to area hospitals for their injuries.


The Frederick County Sheriff’s Office continues to investigate an ATV crash Monday afternoon in Buckeystown. The collision involved an ATV and Kia Soul.

Corporal Amanda Ensor with the Sheriff’s Office says an ATV with two people on board was traveling along Michaels Mill Road when it crossed  the center line, and smashed head on with a Kia Soul. “There were two occupants on the ATV. One of those occupants is deceased at the scene. And the other was flown to Shock Trauma with life-threatening injuries, Priority One,” she says.

The occupants of the Kia Soul were also taken to the hospital. “The two occupants  that were in the Kia Soul–it was a mother and her 12-year-old son–they were transported to Frederick Memorial Hospital, Priority Three,” Corporal Ensor says. “Priority Three” means their injuries are not very serious.

Deputies closed  Michaels Mill Road to traffic while an investigation took place into the crash.
