Over the weekend, a 10-year-old girl in Kansas City, Missouri drove an ATV through a vacant parking lot around 5 p.m.. Authorities arrived shortly after following several reports of an “ATV collision”. Allegedly, as it was being accelerated uphill, the ATV flipped and the girl was thrown across the lot. She is now in hospital care where she is facing life-threatening injuries.
It is crucial to stray away from equipment and motor vehicles you are unsure of how to use, as they can easily become dangerous without cautious care. In the case where you are dealing with a motorized vehicle, it is important to follow through with the necessary precautions, such as wearing a helmet, being equipped with knee pads, or simply taking note of weight/person limits.
