Two Salisbury teens had to be flown from the scene of a rollover all-terrain vehicle crash in Howard County on Independence Day.

According to a report from the Missouri State Highway Patrol, the crash occurred as the 14-year-old driver lost control of a northbound 2017 Polaris Ranger. The driver overcorrected, which caused the vehicle to travel off the right side of the roadway and overturn.

The driver and a 14-year-old passenger were flown by a Life Flight helicopter to University Hospital in Columbia for treatment of serious injuries. Neither of the ATV’s occupants was wearing a safety device.

The crash happened at 6:10 p.m. on County Road 261, six-tenths of a mile north of County Road 259.
