A 2-year-old hit by an ATV Monday afternoon in Springfield Twp. was flown to Dayton Children’s Hospital.

The Ohio State Highway Patrol Springfield Post said that troopers were called just after 5 p.m. to the 2700 block of Dale Avenue.

OSHP said that their investigation found a 19-year-old was riding a 2018 Kawasaki ATV east on Dale Avenue when the 2-year-old crossed the street in front of the four-wheeler.

The ATV hit the 2-year-old in the road, causing serious, but not life-threatening injuries, OSHP said. A medical helicopter flew the child to Dayton Children’s Hospital.

The crash remains under investigation.
