(Lucas, Iowa) – Two men traveling in an All-Terrain Vehicle Wednesday afternoon were injured, when the vehicle crashed at a high rate of speed in Lucas County. The Iowa State Patrol reports a 2016 Yamaha YXZ1000R driven by 31-year-old Robert Kole McCormick, of Lucas, was traveling south in a ditch alongside Highway 65 just north of Highway 34 at around 4-p.m., and was attempting to jump a driveway, when the accident occurred.

The ATV was traveling at speeds of between 50-and 60 mph when it vaulted the driveway, lost contact with the ground and flipped end-over-end several times. McCormick and his passenger, 19-year-old Hunter John Wilson, of Chariton, were injured. Both were wearing their seat belts. McCormick was transported by medical helicopter to Methodist Hospital in Des Moines.

The crash remains under investigation.
