ST. ANTHONY — While it may be easier to go faster over wet sand, anybody who crashes on the stuff may suffer injury.
That's what happened to several ATV riders on Sunday.
Fremont County Sheriff Len Humphries said that Sunday morning and Sunday afternoon, ambulance crews transported ATV riders off the sand dunes in St. Anthony and to Madison Memorial Hospital. There were also reports of riders who suffered similar injuries but took themselves to the hospital.
“The Sandhills were wet yesterday. When the sand is wet, it's hard like concrete. You can go so much faster on wet sand, but what people don't realize is that wet sand is not very forgiving. When you crash, you crash hard,” he said.
The injuries were not life-threatening, Humphries said.
