A man and a 7-year old were injured during an ATV refueling accident Saturday afternoon, in Fremont County. Sheriff Kevin Aistrope reports deputies were called to 2982 250th Avenue, just outside of Hamburg, at around 4:40-p.m., for a single vehicle ATV accident. The caller reported that while fueling-up an All Terran Vehicle, the fuel ignited and caught 43-year old Shane Daniel Adams and 7-year old Chevy Adams, both on fire.

The man and child were transported by Hamburg Rescue to Grape Community Hospital, for treatment of serious injuries. They were flown shortly thereafter by LifeNet, to Saint Eves Burn Center, in Lincoln, NE., for treatment of severe burns to their arms and legs.

No foul play was determined at the scene.
