ATV accident causes serious injuries

A man thrown from the driver’s side of an ATV in a remote part of Oconee County wound up in an ambulance for a trip to the hospital. Yesterday’s mid-day accident required responders to trek about two and a half miles of rough trails and steep terrain off E. Stamp Creek Road to find the injured man. According to a report from Oconee Emergency Services, the accident occurred on a 500-acre tract of land under private development and the injured man suffered serious injuries.
