ATV VICTIM IMPROVING AT CAMC

(05/04/2006)
The condition of a Ritchie County girl who was injured when two ATVs crashed in Calhoun Monday evening, has improved.

A spokesperson for Charleston Area Medical Center says Emily Mitchell, 17, is now in fair condition after being listed in critical condition.

Mitchell was life-flighted from Minnie Hamilton Health Care Center Monday night following the accident at Cherry Fork near Nobe.

Mitchell was reportedly on a 4-wheeler with Desma Cunningham, about 16, of Smithville. She is the daughter of Harold and Vickie Cunningham.

Cunningham was apparently not seriously injured.

The Cunningham-Mitchell ATV reportedly collided with an ATV driven by Dylan Little, about 13, a student at Calhoun Middle School. He is the son of David and Tina Little.

Little was treated at Minnie Hamilton Health Care Center and released.
