by Karin L. Nauber
Kyle Klein, 20 years old, son of Russell and
Sheila Klein of Clarissa, was injured in an ATV accident near the Al Moen
farm located on 215th Avenue in Clarissa on Monday, May 5.
The ATV rolled end over end after hitting an
approach. According to Russell, Kyle told him that a car was coming on the
road, so they went down in the ditch with the ATV. They hit the approach
and nose dived.
"Kyle went head first and the ATV went over
on top of him and his passenger Mitch Brown came down on that," said
Russell.
Mitch was not injured in the accident.
Kyle was transported to the Long Prairie
Hospital and then to St. Cloud Hospital for treatment. Russell said that
Kyle herniated the second disk in his neck and also herniated two disks in
his back.
Kyle can move his arms and can walk, but
will have to be in a neck and upper body cast for six weeks to three
months.
Kyle was able to come home on Friday, May 9.
Kyle helps his parents operate their 600
acre dairy farm.
Kyle said he is feeling pretty good and is
anxious to be able to get out of the cast and back to doing things
outside.
