A teenager was flown to a Nashville hospital following an ATV accident Sunday afternoon in Todd County.

It happened a few minutes after 2 p.m. in a field off Coal Bank Road and Todd County Sheriff’s Sgt. David Hutcheson says the 17-year old male from Brownsville, Kentucky was riding with a group on four-wheelers and dirt bikes when he hit a large hill and went airborne.

When he came down, he was ejected from his vehicle and sustained a broken leg, according to Sgt. Hutcheson.

He was flown by Air Evac to Tristar Centennial Hospital in Nashville for treatment.

The Todd County Rescue Squad also assisted at the scene.
