ATV accident

A Fenton man was seriously injured early on Memorial Day in an all-terrain vehicle accident at County Line Drive and Dogwood Trail at the Goose Creek lake development in St. Francois County, the Missouri State Highway Patrol reported.

At 12:35 a.m. Monday, May 30, Raymond J. Stippey, 53, of Fenton was riding a southbound 2016 Polaris Sportsman when he approached two northbound side-by-sides that took up both lanes, and as he swerved to avoid them, he ran off the right side of the road and was ejected, the report said.

Stippey was taken by St. Francois County Ambulance to Mercy Hospital South in south St. Louis County, where he was listed in good condition on Tuesday afternoon, May 31, a hospital spokesman said.

According to the report, Stippey was not using a safety device.

The vehicle had minor damage, the report said.
