Bicycle Accident Injures Boy

Cherokee County Fire and Emergency Services responded to a bicycle accident this morning at approximately 10:45 on the Blankets Creek Bike Trails, located near Bridgemill.

Cherokee County Fire and Emergency Services paramedic, Nathan Fant, said a 12 year old boy apparently hit a log resulting in the bicycle accident. Fant also said that the young man was approximately 1 ½ miles from the entrance to Blankets Creek and approximately 500 yards from Lake Allatoona. Emergency service personnel decided it would be best to take the young man to a boat and transport the patient to Little River Marina to an awaiting ambulance. The boy was transported non emergency to Mariettas Kennestone Hospital complaining of neck and shoulder pain.

No other injuries were reported.
