A 13-year-old Centralia male juvenile was injured in a four wheeler crash in the 1700 block of Zion Hill Road in rural Centralia Sunday afternoon.
The Marion County Sheriff’s Department reports the juvenile activated the brakes on the four wheeler to slow for a curve when the brakes locked up and threw him from the four wheeler. It was not clear if the four-wheeler rolled before coming to a stop as the handle bars were bent.
The juvenile was already loaded into a Lifestar Ambulance by the time deputies arrived. He was first taken to SSM Health St. Mary’s Hospital and then transferred by air ambulance to a St. Louis Hospital for treatment.
The crash was reported at 4:44 Sunday afternoon.
