Man injured in ATV accident

An Indiana man was injured after he was involved in an accident on an all-terrain vehicle in Cass County’s Porter Township.

Sheriff Richard Behnke said deputies were called shortly before 3 p.m. Tuesday to the 10000 block of Bair Lake Road in response to an accident with injuries.

Upon arrival, deputies met with the driver, 40-year-old Timothy Krucina, of Hobart. He told authorities he was driving through a bean field and believes he inadvertently applied the ATV’s front brake.

The momentum caused him to eject in a forward manner from the seat of the ATV. Krucina was not wearing a helmet and authorities said alcohol does not appear to be a factor.

He was transported to Three Rivers Health for treatment of minor injuries.

  1. Major responsibility while riding on this type of vehicle is your safety. It should be your priority and must follow safety precaution to prevent possible accidents. If you have not driven this type of vehicle before, you need to undergo training first just like how you should undergo training when it comes to the use of the different tazers for sale in the market. Undergoing ATV safety training course will enable you to have clear knowledge on how to operate the machine.
