TAUNTON, Mass. (WPRI) - A teenage boy and a man were rushed to hospitals Tuesday evening via medical helicopter after two ATV crashes in Taunton.

Both happened shortly before 5:45 p.m., though it's unclear if they were related. On Hodges Street, a 15-year-old boy was transported by an EMT medical chopper crew, according to the Taunton Fire Department. On Hartford Avenue, a man believed to be in his thirties was also transported by medical crews.

As of Tuesday evening, officials did not have details on the victims' conditions -- and couldn't say if they were wearing helmets. They're still determining exactly what happened to the man and teen.
