A 57-year-old Leland man was flown to OSF St. Anthony’s Medical Center in Rockford after an ATV crash Sunday in Leland.
La Salle County sheriff’s deputies said Randy Baker was driving his ATV north on East 1950th Road about 7 p.m. Sunday when he lost control and the vehicle overturned in the area of Indian Creek Drive.
Baker was ejected and struck a guardrail, deputies said. He was taken to Valley West Hospital in Sandwich, and a short time later was flown to St. Anthony’s hospital.
After an investigation of the single-vehicle crash, Baker was cited on complaints of failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident and illegal operation of an all-terrain vehicle on the road, deputies said.
