A 7-year-old boy was airlifted from a remote area of Utah County on Tuesday evening after he and three other children were involved in an ATV crash, authorities said.

The boy suffered a head injury and was having trouble breathing after the crash, which was reported just after 7:30 p.m., Utah County Sheriff’s Office Sgt. Spencer Cannon said. It occurred near Loafer Mountain, southeast of Payson, and a medical helicopter from Payson responded.

It was not immediately clear Tuesday evening what condition the boy was in. Cannon was not sure if any of the other children were injured.
