Arlington Heights Fire Department paramedics treated and transported a male youth after he hit a parked car while driving an All Terrain Vehicle (ATV) in the 1300 block of North Illinois Avenue in Arlington Heights. The accident was reported about 1:00 p.m. Thursday. The boy was treated for trauma with intravenous fluids, a backboard, cervical collar and other spinal precaution procedures observed at the scene on the street next to the crashed ATV.
