An ATV crash in Morrison County left 49-year-old Ryan Hansen of Motley, MN, injured last week, as reported by the Morrison County Sheriff’s Office. The incident occurred on 330th Street near Hickory Lane, just east of Highway 10 in Scandia Valley Township, when Hansen, piloting a 3-wheeler ATV, struck a culvert in the ditch he was driving in, causing the vehicle to roll and leading to his ejection.
It was stated that the accident happened at around 1:11 pm last Friday, with Hansen not wearing a helmet at the time of the crash, which raises questions about the use of safety equipment during such activities, as detailed by the Morrison County Sheriff’s Office. He suffered unknown injuries and was transported to Staples Hospital by private vehicle.
The Sheriff's Office didn't provide updates on his condition. The investigation into the crash is ongoing, with authorities looking into the circumstances that led to the unfortunate event. Assistance was provided at the scene by Scandia Valley Fire and Rescue, MN State Patrol, and Mayo Clinic Ambulance, affirming the collaborative efforts of multiple agencies during emergencies.
