Illinois Man Airlifted After Shannon County UTV Accident

A 37‑year‑old Illinois man was hurt in an ATV crash Sunday evening on Forest Service Road 2220, eight miles southeast of Bunker.

Troopers say the 2017 Polaris Ranger XP900 began to skid and crossed the center of the roadway around 5:30 p.m. The driver overcorrected, sending the vehicle off the right side of the road where it struck an embankment and overturned.
