BRIAN HEAD — A man was critically injured when he crashed an all-terrain vehicle in Iron County over the weekend.
Around 9 p.m. on Friday, Iron County sheriff's deputies became aware of a traumatic ATV accident near the Dry Lakes area close to Brian Head. Deputies said when emergency personnel arrived at the site, they found that a man had sustained severe head injuries as a result of the crash.
The Iron County Sheriff's Office had not released the name or age of the victim as of Wednesday.
