According to state police, Chase Matthews was thrown from his four-wheeler Saturday evening while traveling along Ky. 295 in Dycusburg. He was reportedly thrown from the ATV when it overturned after striking an earthen embankment.
Matthews, who was not wearing a helmet, was taken by ambulance to Crittenden Hospital for treatment of injuries.
Matthews, as a National Guard soldier with the Marion detachment, was severely injured in 2007 by a roadside bomb. In the attack, he lost parts of both legs and sustained other serious injuries.
