Police have charged a teen after an ATV crashed in the Township of Southgate injuring a passenger.

The crash happened on November 15 on Edgar St.

Police say a 16-year old female from the Municipality of Grey Highlands was thrown from the ATV and suffered serious, life-threatening injuries. At that time she was air lifted to a Toronto hospital and has since been released.

Neither the driver or the passenger were wearing helmets.
