Maine Moms Charged After ATV Accident

Authorities say the mothers of two young girls injured in an ATV accident in Lincoln earlier this week are facing charges for not properly supervising their children.

The girls, ages 8 and 12, were on the all-terrain vehicle on Tuesday when the driver overcorrected and they veered off a trail and into the woods.

The Maine Warden Service says the younger girl suffered a neck injury. Both girls are recovering.

It was not immediately clear who was driving.

Wardens tell WABI-TV that the accident was not reported as required and the ATV was removed from the scene before authorities got there.

One mother is charged with allowing a minor to operate an ATV while the other is charged for failing to report an ATV accident.
