MALONE -- A local man hurt his neck Sunday evening when he was thrown from an ATV while trying to drag a log near his River Road residence.
After backing his ATV up to the log, Jeffrey Hyde was trying to get off the recreational vehicle when he accidentally hit the accelerator.
The quick acceleration caused the ATV to rear up and throw the 44-year-old onto the ground.
Malone-based State Police said Hyde suffered neck bruises during the 7:30 p.m. accident.
