KENTWOOD — Tangipahoa Parish deputies arrested an 18-year-old from Kentwood after an all-terrain vehicle crash injured four people, including himself and a 17-year-old who was airlifted to a hospital.

Mason Simpson, 18, was driving his ATV with three passengers on Saturday when it lost control, flipped several times and crashed into a tree, according to the Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff's Office.

A 17-year-old passenger was flown to a New Orleans hospital and was still there Tuesday morning, TPSO said. A 16-year-old passenger and Simpson were also taken to a hospital and later released. The fourth passenger, an 18-year-old, refused treatment at the scene. 

TPSO said no one in the vehicle was wearing a seatbelt, which the ATV did have.

According to the sheriff's office, Simpson was out on bond for a July DWI arrest in which he was allegedly found passed out behind the wheel of a vehicle sitting idle in the middle of an Amite highway.

After the ATV crash, he was booked on three counts of negligent injuring and no seatbelt, as well as one count each of reckless operation of a vehicle, off-road vehicle on a roadway, no proof of insurance and failure to carry registration. He has since bonded out.
