A female passenger was taken to hospital in Gander after an all-terrain vehicle (ATV) crash near Michael’s Harbour on Monday (January 20th).

The ATV, which was carrying two occupants, flipped over on its side while making a turn on the Michael’s Harbour Access Road. The two occupants were not wearing seat belts or helmets. The female passenger is being treated for serious but non-life-threatening injuries. The ATV was uninsured. The investigation is continuing with charges pending.
