The victims included a 12-year-old female from Rock Port, who was driving. She sustained serious injuries and was transported by private vehicle to the Hospital in Fairfax, a 15-year-old male who was also seriously injured and a 14-year-old male who suffered moderate injuries.

Both of the boys were from Fairfax. They were transported by the Atchison-Holt Ambulance to Community Hospital in Fairfax.

None of the occupants of the ATV were wearing safety devices at the time of the wreck.

The Atchison County Sheriff's Department and the Fairfax Fire Department both assisted at the scene.
