Girls Hurt in ATV Accident
Two young cousins were hurt in an ATV accident Sunday afternoon in Forestville.
Sheriff's Deputies say an 8-year-old was operating the ATV on her family's property when she stopped so her 4-year-old cousin could get off the vehicle.
But, the throttle was pushed, causing the ATV to lurch forward and catch the 4-year-old's leg on the machine.
The ATV went a short distance before hitting a tree.
The 4-year-old was flown to Women and Children's Hospital in Buffalo. The 8-year-old was taken to Lake Shore Hospital in Irving for treatment of an upper arm injury.
