Sparta, Wisconsin (WXOW) --- -
A Tomah man suffers possible life threatening injuries in an ATV crash in Monroe County Sunday.
Emergency responders were sent to County Highway M just south of Highway 21 in the Town of Greenfield at 11:33 p.m. for the crash.
According to the Monroe County Sheriff's Office, an ATV driven by Vincent J. Davis was headed down County M and tried to make a sharp turn into a driveway. The ATV rolled over and pinned Davis underneath. Before first responders arrived, Davis' friends were able to get the ATV off of him and start first aid.
Davis was originally taken to Tomah Memorial Hospital for treatment, but later airlifted to Gundersen Health System in La Crosse with possible life threatening injuries.
While the crash remains under investigation by the sheriff's office, a statement said their initial findings that alcohol and speed are believed to be factors in the crash.
