GIBSON CO., IN (WFIE) - 

A Gibson County teenager is in serious condition after an ATV accident on Sunday. 

15-year-old Casey Nurrenburn of Fort Branch is being treated at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital. 

DNR officials say he was a passenger in a side by side ATV, when the 14-year-old driver hit a four-wheeler pulling out of a driveway on County Road 900 South.

Nurrenburn has serious injuries to his leg, arm, and head. 

The 15-year-old driver of the four-wheeler hurt his leg in the crash.

The side by side ATV driver was wearing a seatbelt.

The case is being turned over to the prosecutor because it's illegal to drive ATVs on public roadways without a driver's license.
