An Onondaga teen was left hospitalized Monday after being struck by an SUV while driving an ATV.
Onondaga County Sheriff’s Deputies were called at around 9:30 p.m. Aug. 13 to the 3600 block of Cedervale Road, just north of Tanner Road, to investigate a crash involving a 1986 Dodge Ram Charger, driven by Rosario Laframboise, 18, of 3457 Makyes Road, and a Polaris ATV driven by his friend James Otis, 15, of 4030 Bowen Drive.
