Police say the single-vehicle collision on Highway 6 in Hagersville took place around 5 p.m. on Friday. Emergency crews treated a 56-year-old woman for minor injuries and transported the male driver to hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
Traffic investigators say the man was driving the ATV around a property in Haldimand County when he lost control, causing the ATV to roll over.
