The impact caused the rider to be ejected off the ATV. The 71-year-old male operator of the ATV was taken by ambulance to a nearby hospital then transported to trauma center in Kingston to be treated for serious injuries sustained from collision. The occupants of the Kia sedan were uninjured.
Concession Road 8 West was closed for several hours while OPP Central Region Technical Collision Investigators (TCI) attended to measure and document the scene.
The cause of the crash remains under investigation.
