14-year-old injured in Le Sueur County crash

Three juveniles were involved in a crash in Le Sueur County this past weekend, and one of them was transported to a hospital, according to the Le Sueur County Sheriff’s Office.

The sheriff’s office states, at about 4:50 p.m. on Sunday, deputies responded to a report of a personal injury accident involving an off-highway vehicle on Greenland Road in Elysian Township.

An investigation indicates that two 15-year-old boys were seated in the off-highway vehicle, one driving and the other in the passenger seat. A third juvenile male, age 14, was standing on the left rear side holding onto the roof of the vehicle. As the vehicle was traveling eastbound on Greenland Road, the male standing up lost his grip, causing him to fall off the vehicle.

The 14-year-old suffered a possible head injury and was transported by North Memorial Ambulance Service to Mayo Clinic Health Systems Mankato.

The sheriff’s office is still investigating the incident.
