TULSA, OK -- An 11-year-old boy is in critical condition with a head injury after a four-wheeler accident. Jacob Knight of Lenapah was a passenger on a Honda TRX 500 driven by another 11-year-old boy on a county road east of Nowata.

According to a report by the Oklahoma Highway Patrol, the boys were trying to jump a dirt mound and traveling too fast to complete the maneuver. They both jumped from the vehicle in mid-air, but the ATV landed on its back then fell onto Knight.

He was taken by Nowata EMS to St. Francis Hospital where he was admitted in critical condition with a head injury.
