A Plato boy, 11, received injuries Tuesday afternoon when a dirt bike and ATV collided at Evening Shade, the Missouri State Highway Patrol said.
Sgt. Aimee Fulkerson said a westbound 2002 Yamaha Big Bear 400 ATC driven by a 59-year-old Plato man entered Walnut Road from private property just south of Highway AW and failed to yield to a southbound 2023 Honda CRX-125 dirt bike operated by the boy. Fulkerson said the dirt bike overturned at about 3:45 p.m.
The boy was taken by private vehicle to Texas County Memorial Hospital in Houston with minor injuries. The boy was wearing a helmet; the man was not, the patrol said.
