Sherrill Teen Hospitalized Following Dirt Bike Accident in Verona

A Sherrill teen is being treated after a dirt bike accident in Verona yesterday.

Fifteen-year-old Alex Nye was riding near a dead end street near Teuscher Road.  It is believed that he tried to jump a dump pile when his bike flipped over, causing an injury to his leg.

Responding to the call were the Oneida County Sheriff's Office, Verona Fire Department, and the Westmoreland Fire Department, the latter deploying an ATV rescue vehicle.

Nye was transported to a Syracuse-area hospital by Mercy Flight.
