Two people were seriously injured in a weekend ATV accident south of North Platte.

On Saturday, deputies with the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office and North Platte Fire/Rescue responded to the report of an ATV accident near East Brown Road.  It was reported that two subjects were badly injured.

Deputies arrived and located the accident in a cornfield, on private property.

The investigation revealed that the ATV was being driven by 29-year-0ld Sean Baker, of McCook, NE.  He was accompanied by a passenger, 29-year-old Tahnee Sanders of Lebanon, NE.

Deputies say Baker had been drinking and was operating the vehicle at a high rate of speed when it rolled, ejecting both he and Sanders.

Both subjects were seriously injured and were transported to Great Plains Health.  Sanders was then transported to Good Samaritan Hospital in Kearney.

Deputies don’t believe either subject was wearing a seatbelt or a helmet.

The investigation is ongoing.  No charges have been filed.
