A man has been gravely injured in an ATV crash.

The accident happened during the early morning hours of Christmas Eve when 31-year-old William Adkins, of Pulaski County, crashed an ATV when a wheel’s tie rod end broke, causing the vehicle to flip. The ATV landed on top of Adkins, gravely injuring his head and neck, according to a social media post by a family member.

Adkins is currently in intensive care at University of Kentucky Medical Center. Adkins’ wife told WKYT.com that his prognosis is bleak.
