KOSCIUSKO COUNTY, Ind. -
A 14-year-old boy is recovering after being involved in a head-on ATV collision with one of his siblings. It happened Sunday around 2:30 p.m.
Indiana Conservation officers in Warsaw say the boy, Thomas Lemon, was operating an ATV on private property when he collided head-on with another ATV operated by his 12-year-old sister.
Police say the two were driving up opposite sides of a hill and were unable to see each other before their vehicles collided. Police say Lemon was thrown over the handlebars and sustained cuts on his legs.
According to police, Lemon's decision to wear a helmet "undoubtedly" prevented more serious injuries.
