A local man escaped serious injury after losing control of his four-wheel ATV on South Rd. in Grafton Sunday afternoon, flipping the vehicle hard into a ditch. [private]
The Grafton Fire Department found the victim sitting beside his overturned ride. He was transported by the Grafton Rescue Squad to Samaritan Hospital in Troy. State Police said the rider was alone on the vehicle. He apparently lost control after a rear tire went flat. Troopers say the day’s snowfall apparently did not play a role in the mishap. [/private]
