The Marion County Sheriff's Department is
investigating a Sunday ATV crash that injured two people riding on a trail
between Monongah's Tower Hill Road and the West Fork River Trail.
One wound up at Ruby Memorial Hospital in Morgantown. The other
person went to an area hospital. No names were released.
The Monongah Volunteer Fire Department responded.
In the 1960s West Virginia led the nation
in per capita ATV deaths, 8 times the national 6average. 83% of the 250 deaths
happened to West Virginia residents.
From 1982 to 2014 there were 13,617 deaths
in America caused by ATV activities. More than 600 die every year using ATVs.
Nearly 100,000 are injured badly enough to require emergency health treatment.
