A recreational quad biking outing took a dangerous turn on the island of Antigua this week, when a rider was hurt after his all-terrain vehicle flipped on Stapleton Lane. Local reporter George Wehner, who was on the scene immediately after the crash to cover the incident for Real News, shared key details about how the accident unfolded. According to on-site observations from Wehner, the rider was navigating an uphill stretch of the road when the incident occurred. For reasons that remain under preliminary review, the operator lost control of the quad bike, veered off the paved driving surface, and the vehicle flipped completely. The crash left the rider with open cuts and lacerations across one arm and one leg, though first responders who arrived on scene quickly confirmed his injuries were not immediately life-threatening. Shortly after witnesses alerted emergency medical services to the crash, an ambulance was dispatched to the remote Stapleton Lane location to transport the injured rider to a local medical facility for further evaluation and treatment. Wehner confirmed from the scene that despite the traumatic nature of the crash, the rider remained conscious and was listed in stable condition as he was prepared for transport. As of the initial on-site report, officials have not yet confirmed what caused the rider to leave the roadway, with a full review of the accident’s circumstances still pending further investigation.
