A man had to be airlifted to Vancouver to treat serious injuries following an ATV accident in Prince Rupert on Friday night.
At around 8:00, RCMP received a call from the Fire Department requesting assistance at the scene of a motor vehicle incident on Wantage Road.
Emergency Health Services personnel were already at the scene, preparing to transport the 34 year-old victim, as police arrived.
Officers and fire crews remained on scene to investigate, and collect statements from two of the victim’s friends, who were also present.
While they do not suspect drugs or alcohol to be involved, police say the man was not wearing a helmet at the time of the incident.
RCMP seized the ATV to undergo mechanical inspections, and no further information is available on the man’s condition at this time.
