WITTENBERG, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — A 13-year-old boy is hospitalized with serious injuries after being pinned under an ATV after a crash in Shawano County.
Just after 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, deputies responded to a report of an ATV crash on Nightingale Road, near Oak Road in the town of Wittenberg.
The caller had said an ATV rolled over onto the driver, and lone occupant of the ATV, who was unconscious and unresponsive.
When first responders arrived, they found a 13-year-old Wittenberg area boy with life-threatening injuries. He was taken to the hospital. His condition is unknown at this time.
The investigation shows the boy was driving the ATV in a field area when the ATV rolled and left the boy pinned under the ATV. Because no one saw the crash happen, it is not known how long the boy had been there prior to 911 being called.
The Wittenberg School District will have resources available to students and staff.
The crash remains under investigation by the Wisconsin DNR.
