An ATV accident has sent one boy to the hospital with serious injuries in Clay County.

Information is limited at this time, but emergency officials tell us a 14 year old boy had to be air-lifted to the University of Kentucky Medical Center after an accident involving an ATV in the Hector area of Clay County.

We will pass along more information as it becomes available to us.

Another ATV accident, this one in Owsley County, has left one man dead.

Police say 27 year old Tony Gross of Ricetown was killed Sunday morning on the Upper Right Hand Fork of Buffalo Road when he lost control of his ATV in a curve and hit a tree.

When are our Law Makers, Law Enforcement, and other State Officials going to wake up and not only write new laws, but enforce them as well? Get the ATV's and Dirt Bikes off the Highways.

I stand by my comments. Go to the search bar on the top of the WKYT page and type in the word "atv" and you'll see what I'm talking about. Stupid people repeat stupid things. If one person has done it and it killed or injured them, why do you think the next person that does it isn't stupid? Don't give me diatribe that people get killed in cars everyday so maybe people should quit driving; this is a whole different can of beans and if you don't get it, you never will. As for my comments on words spelled incorrectly; if it gets you mad, that's good. Now go out and stop stupidity. How can a person graduate high school without knowing how to spell the basic words?

For something that is serious, this is a funny forum to read. I'll agree the spelling and grammar suck. Hey Mark from Ashland; I'll agree with you and your summation of how people ride ATVs and I won't bash you even though you spelled a few words incorrectly...LOL! You made your point loud and clear. The post by "someone in harlan" makes good points as well. I'm just curious judy; was your son wearing a helmet? I'm not criticizing either way but I'm curious if his injuries were that substantial from wearing a helmet. And yes, you are right...have fun riding but ride safely! I hear so many comments from people screaming common sense when riding them but unfortunately, common sense doesn't seem to be that "common" anymore. "Unbelievable from Hazard" states the truth but I doubt law enforcement can do anything unless someone calls them and reports what they see since they can't be everywhere at once. Lastly, the people who complain about spelling and grammar amuse me as do those who can't spell and use terrible grammar. Thank God we all aren't the same; we'd be a boring bunch.
