An ATV rider with two broken legs who spent at least eight hours lying in a ditch by the side of Meadville Road, Basom, before being found by another person remains hospitalized.
Arlyn L. Jonathan, 34, of Shanks Road, Alabama, was reportedly driving an ATV on Meadeville Road at 1 a.m., Thursday, when he lost control and went off the roadway.
As the ATV flipped over, Jonathan was ejected and struck a tree. His ATV struck another tree.
He apparently had no means of communication and wasn't found until about 8 a.m.
Alabama Fire Department respond to the scene and Jonathan was transported to ECMC by Mercy Flight.
A hospital staff member said Jonathan remains hospitalized but his condition is not listed on his records.
Deputy Lonnie Nati investigated the accident and reported the cause as "unsafe speed." He did not report any citations being issued.
