Employee's Leg and Shoulder Broken in ATV Overturn

An irrigation employee of Alan Sano Farms, Inc., was driving a four-wheeled all-terrain vehicle, a Polaris 250 ATV, down a dirt road in Firebaugh, CA, that bordered some of the company's farm land. The employee was traveling at an approximately 10 mph when he thought he heard a truck or another vehicle approaching from behind. The employee turned his body around in the seat to see if a vehicle might be behind him, and, in doing so, unintentionally turned the handle bars. In an attempt to correct the steering, he overcorrected and flipped the ATV, which landed on him. He suffered a broken leg and shoulder and was taken to a hospital for emergency treatment.
